i like allot of mr. earles music but i get sick of the liberal/socialist messages he talks of. Has this country fallen from grace into darkness yes. But unions and more government control does as much or more harm than rammpageing corporations,guns,drugs,and free will ever has or will.
"Heavy Handed pre-song batter" you say.!! do you think these views Mr Earle subscribes to happened post song ? these views i think you may find if you care to look, were a vital key element in this and many other songs conception. thats why freedom of speech is so well respected. to deny Steve Earle this is to deny Guthrie, Dylan, Seeger,U2 The Boss, Young, Floyd, the Clash et al.
We need another man with a beard in the White House anyway.

His little political rants are great, the way he does it so tongue-in-cheek and matter-of-fact.

His political/social commentary be more palatable if confined to his lyrics and not heavy handed pre-song banter.
