I don't particularly care what he has written. When he wrote a song defending a traitor, he lost any respect I would have had. I guess it would have been too corny to write a song about those who died on 9-11. After all, there is nothing anti-heroic and wonderfully rebellious in that, is there? It is only people who will never see their loved ones again. No biggy. But, let us celebrate some worthless kid who turns his back on his country. If you think that Lindh made some principled decision and should be respected for what he believes in, and that this guy should be respected for writing a song glorifying that, then you are as full of crap as Earle.

Paul,

Don't flame me, man. Please re-read my reply, bandage the injury that you received from the underside of your desk on your jerking knee.

Lindh is a traitor, and I would rip the eyes out of his head and piss in his dead skull if I could get my hands on him.

My point is I didn't necessarily see glorification of Lindh's actions, but an examination of rebellion for rebellion's sake.

I will re-read Earle's interview and the lyrics to the somg to make sure I'm not missing something.
