My research indicates that druggies & maggot invested, tatooed clad hippy types have low individual moral standards and therefore end up liberal scum. Earle epitomizes this. Toby...well he's just an all american boy having a good time.

The backup vocals and harmonization from Maria McKee on "Nothing But a Child" are terrific.

Unfortunately, that was written before Earle's political views were known publicly. His sympathy for the Taliban offset any musical talent he might have.

Why are you bashing Toby Keith? He is probably the most popular and best musician in America right now.

What are you talking about? Your posts are very strange adn make no sense. Yes I live in the same town as Micah Holmquist and that is how I found out about his blog but I am not him. I have never even met the guy.

You understand incorrectly. He's a die-hard liberal, but not of the Communist variety

http://www.steveearle.net/irishtimes2.htm

"Steve Earle's sense of humour is droll and laconic and born of a deep sense of observation. His anger at social injustices led to songs such as The Rain Came Down for a Farm Aid benefit and Nothing But A Child for an organisation providing for homeless children. "Since coming here I've gone to a couple of Socialist Workers' meetings, and I am a believer in Marx's economic theories."

He was in Ireland, I assume this was the publication:

http://www.swp.org.uk/

Appears to be a party organ for the Socialist Workers Party, I have no particular reason to think they're terrorists, but they sure are commies.

And they seem to be allies of Iraq and the Palestinians.

I don't quite know what to say to that. Have you ever listened to any of his earlier records?

I should have known better than to get involved in this thread.

Sorry, I didn't really mean to slam your musical tastes. If Toby Keith music works for you, then enjoy.

I haven't heard anything that Steve Earle has ever done, which I find suprising since I've been a loyal listener to country radio for over a decade now.

He's unlikely to get much airplay anywhere; it's not that he isn't good, he's just in a no man's land between country and rock. I saw him in a club this year and he was terrific.

Politically he's a complete knucklehead.
