Screw Steve Earle. He is a drug-addicted, ex-convict.

I used to work in Nashville in the music industry.
For what it's worth, most people I knew there considered Steve Earle to be an arrogant, first-class jerk.
On the other hand, Charlie Daniels was universally well-liked.
Personnally, I'll take Charlie's music over Steve's any day.

Steve Earl wrote a song about me years ago:
A long time ago,
There was a man,
He had the world,
In the palm of his hand...
Now I'm depressed.

Steve Earle is an anti-capital punishment leftie.
Although one has to wonder if enough people like Earle could revive the old "redneck left" (Woody Guthrie, etc.) and push the left from its current position of national socialism for non-whites.

"Pick the most far-flung thing from the mainstream and embrace it with all your might, eh?"
Your description would be more appropriate of an individuals journey to becoming a christian conservative. Is there anything more rebellious than becoming a true christian conservative?
Earle, like many similiar Hollywood "rebels", smack of fake rebelliousness. It took more courage for Toby Keith to record his Courtesy of the Red White & Blue, than Earle to record his pap.

For what it's worth, most people I knew there considered Steve Earle to be an arrogant, first-class jerk. Saw his sister, Stacy Earle, open for Steve Forbert last week. What a doll! She's cute as a button, positive, happy and has a great voice. It's amazing how different siblings can be.
By the way, Steve Forbert is an American treasure. If you ever get the chance, check him out.

This PR release (that IS what this is) conveniently fails to mention the extremist anti-american garbage this no-talent hack has been spewing all over Canada & Europe since 9/11. (In short, this hick thinks america asked for it,that the toddlers who died deserved it because George Bush is president, etc).Steve Earle is a notorious anti-semite. He can't wait til every jew is dead, and worse, he hopes every muslim gets blown up after 'em. SICK, sick, sick. (Who owns his record label again?)

Yeah, right.
Next thing you know, you'll be claiming that Johnny Cash wasn't a boy named Sue.
Come on, everyone knows that all singers believe 100% of their lyrics literally, word for word and note for note.

Screw Steve Earle. He is a drug-addicted, ex-convict. Steve Earle is a man many times divorced, who's done time in prison and nearly killed himself with alcohol and drugs. He's been sober for eight years and reestablished himself in a series of widely acclaimed albums.
Guess you must have missed the part where he's been sober for eight years.

...Mountain...McCoury...Liking and disliking artists based on their work is a risky game, you're as likely to be wrong as right. But Del McCoury and the boys, oh my God! Saw them about a year ago and believe me, they sat at the right hand of the muse on that night. You could tell me they were all wife beaters and I would still see them again just to see if lightning strikes twice.
Based on your handle I would guess that you've done a little picking yourself.

Sorry I 'll miss it...I gotta cut my toe-nails. LOL!

Big deal.

I don't like the "canned" music, either.
All I can say is, Steve Earle has always struck me as the kind of "hip, cooler-than-thou Country" type that goes over well in places like Marin County, California -- and most definitely NOT where I come from in rural Missouri.
