"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

Does this answer your question about earle?

Does this answer your question about earle?

I never had any questions about Earle.  I've known for years that his political leanings were left, so what.  That didn't stop the man from being a supremely gifted singer and songwriter, despite being kept off of FM radio for most of his career.  (Too rock for the country stations and vice versa)

If I limited my musical listening to only people who are right of the political spectrum, I'd have a pretty small music library.

I read an interview with Earle once where he urged UN intervention if America didn't abolish the death penalty. Magnet magazine, if I remember correctly...

Since Earle is apparently a socialist here's what I am going to do to support his goals.

I am going to download every Steve Earle CD I own (and I own them all, even a few imports and special edition singles) on to WinMx and Limewire so that he can share his music with the masses without making an evil profit.

I'm sure he'll thank me for it.
