Thank you for your reply. I didn't know that.
To: Conservative Chicagoan
Then do you know any reason he sang such a song. It is pretty rare for a non-Christian to create something original such as this. I don't know!
I just know that I liked it when I heard it, along with many other of his songs!

"Could be I'm just some Big City sucker for a hard-rocking, Nietzsche-reading,
Che Guevara-quoting redneck country singer, but ... if Steve Earle isn't a Great American, he'll have to do until the real thing comes along."— Mark Jacobson, Men's Journal
I got this off steveearle.net.

Hmmm... where to begin... He has performed and supported "Welfare Rights", for the Kensington Welfare Rights Union, he has the undying affection of the 'Green Left' who consider him one of their own, he often quotes Che Guevara, "I like real old-school, IWW-style union politics", "I'm to the left of Mao", in response to who he would vote for in 2000: "My politics are just slightly to the left of anybody who's running"... Need I go on?

What details can you give on his politics? Is he a communist?
To: Conservative Chicagoan
From what I read in an interview with him at bombsite, he said one of his favorite woodie guthrie quotes is, "I don't consider myself a communist, but I am red" or something like that... I'll have to go look it up. My commie-pinko, left-wing entertainer files are obviously incomplete ;0)
To: Tribune7
Why? From all I can gather he is a leftist, possibly communist, singer. What is it about him that you like?
To: gilor
BUMP! He appears to be scum!
To: Michael2001
BUMP!!!
To: Chad Fairbanks
Need I go on? NOPE!
I know he was always fighting the MAinstrean country people. He just never seemed to fit in.
The death penalty stuff I could live with, but Welfare and "Left of anyone running" bothers me.
He's said a lot of stuff to get people going, but what has he actually done in the polical arena besides welfare and death penalty issues?
Sorry, I am still holiding out some hope for him.

HOpefully you are right. He needs to be punished for this song!
To: Michael2001
Are we sure his fans will be offended? He seems very leftwing. Are most of his fans also?
To: Rebelbase
BUMP!!! We alls hould do this so that he pays for this!
To: Bowana
Earle and the dukes song Snake Oil is apparently about Reagan and his administration.
