Why did Johnny have to cuss the Devil out at the end of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"?

[LostInAnomie]

Isn't that just heaping insult onto injury? Geez, the guy had just won the guy's golden fiddle! He didn't need to be a dick about it.

1. That's not what bugs me about that song.

What bugs me is that the Devil and his band OBVIOUSLY played so much better. And he still got ripped off!

2. It was that damned Florida recount. n/t

3. The Devil's mom is a bitch?

Who's the Devil's mom? She musta been a bitch to raise such a a saucy kid.

4. southern-style trash talk...

what? you've never seen an SEC football game?

[CreekDog]

5. The devil's piece was actually better

But it's like the college football rankings --very unfair and subjective. :rant:

[Aristus]

6. Because Johnny was pissed that, even though he had won, he hadn't thought up the

cool accompaniment of bass guitar arpeggios the way the Devil did. The Devil was a cooler fiddler.

Or maybe Johnny was upset because the Devil didn't pitch in with the South to preserve slavery like they were hoping he would... :hide:

7. because it's what good people do

and johnny was good people.

8. I want to know who was judging that contest.

'Cuz The Devil got reamed, and badly. It was that vindictive Holy Ghost, wasn't it? He ruins everything...

[Dinger]

9. charlie daniels Is an repuke asshole,

Just sayin'.

[RebelOne]

11. Even so, I always liked that song, especially now that I live in Georgia. n/t

10. Some stations bleep that word.

Apparently you can't even call the Devil a son-of-a-bitch on US radio.

And why the hell (!) did the Devil let Johnny go first?! Especially since the Devil was so much better?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

12. Because he already done told him once!
