Duke Levine's guitar on that is exquisite.  The "no one hates me in a bar" line is full of a lot more meaning that you see on the surface.  Of course, that's often true, but . . . is there really a thing as true and deeper friendship in a bar?  The camaraderie is really more about the need for chemical enhancement.  And we all know about the negative place it takes people with alcoholism.  Feels like a companionship in a bar, but is it a true and deep companionship?  I might make the same comment about  church.  People feels something for being part of a group, but are they REALLY that much together?   Do they really buy the whole story hook, line, and sinker?  Even water to wine and walking on water?  Most do not so you could even draw a parallel between the social ease that comes with a few drinks and the "safety in groups" that comes with church.  A lot to unpack there.
