Be interesting to see: I'll bet Earle gets places in national media that Charlie Daniels and Toby Keith were excluded from because of their ANTI-moham songs.

Super point. I hadn't thought of that but I know that you are right.

"they're providing law and order and they're putting a big dent in the drug trade"

Law and order - NO!
Tyranny - YES!

And if anybody thinks they did anything to impact the drug trade should read a little more. All the taliban did was get rid of a few competitors and drive up the price, so their profits would go through the roof.

MIDI - COMING TO AMERICA

Home…he has finally come home
To our shores…who could ask for more?
Gee…he cut his hair and beard
Oh, what else will he have in store

Jihad Johnny's back again…he really loves America
Gay dad says he is the man…he really loves America

The Cole…he cheered when it was hit
And on our flag he spit
He was confused…poor boy's confused

It's time…for some compassion here
His counsel makes it clear
He was confused…poor boy's confused

Jihad Johnny's back again…he really loves America
Gay dad says he is the man…he really loves America
Even though he wants us dead…he really loves America
Let Mike Tyson squash his head…he really loves America

He really loves America…he really loves America
He really loves America…he really loves America
Like you…true blue
Like you…true blue
Like you

He chose the Taliban…now we will kick his can
This scum should hang…this scum should hang
Today…today...today…today

Is Steve on drugs again? I thought he cleaned up, but this provides evidence otherwise.

He's just a poor, misunderstood artist who doesn't really stand for any of the concepts he sings about... does that about sum it up?

I'll keep looking too. Even if it's from that little bastard lindh's POV .... whats the point, Lindh is still a POS! and so is any 'cry me a river artist' that supports him.

P.S. islamic chats in the song??? Never believed in Satanic messages in music till now.

There's a difference - The songs by Randy that you are citing are usually listed in the Comedy category, for one thing (and they are funny)... Stev's songs are listed under the Alternative Country genre, not comedy...

Secondly, Steven Earle has written other songs that to me raise questions about whether he actually likes this country ("My Uncle", for one...) and his left-leaning politics are very close to the political "values" of Johnny Lindh's parents...

So, you can defend him on the grounds that he's just writing from the "third-person" perspective all you want. Those of us who have followed his politics know better...

Steve Earle is also the guy who likes to claim, as he was quoted, "I'm to the Left of Mao Tse Tung" - a man who campaigns against Capital Punishment (his song "Over Yonder" was inspired by his friendship with Jonathan Nobles , a condemned murderer of two young women who was later executed - Steve was present at the execution at the request of the inmate because the inmate wanted someone there who didn't hate him), etc... etc... on and on and on... In every interview I've ever seen by him, he basically states that what he writes is what he's feeling at any particular time...
