[theDAMNEDproductions]

[o2bnmbr1]

agrees with musicjunkie696980

[musicjunkie696980]

hey maglioso who the fuck are you if this is so silly why watch or comment you r probly some mexican or rag head who took asylum from your own fucked up country and now ur gonna criticize one og the greatest musicians in music history wow fuckin loser and the only reason nobody gets a handout from you is cause you got your own hand out beggin keep your shit to yourself and dnt watch stick to your gay porn so we can enjoy what is good in life

[darlincommitme]

@musicjunkie696980

Much more likely Maglioso is a redneck who doesn't like Earle's liberal politics.... and Steve would be the first to call you out as a bigot for your slurs.

[msheddemt2818]

@darlincommitme agreed

[Msdistarr]

@darlincommitme I agree and was really happy to see that someone said something about it. I was going to voice my opinion, then noticed your comment. I think it's scary to read that type of remark and realize that people can and do actually think that way. And then, as if that isn't bad enough, to then go public with their bigotry by posting a comment confirming their ignorance. He certainly doesn't know to much about the beliefs of the man he claims to admire so much.

[darlincommitme]

@Msdistarr

Thanks for the support from you and msheddmt - I hesitated, because it is so easy to get caught in a pointless debate. Figured it wasn't worth arguing with the first guy, but the comment by musicjunkie was so out of touch with Steve's beliefs, especially on this song which is about the struggles of the homeless and is accompanied by a video which shows us their faces. I always point out this song when people complain about Steve becoming more liberal... he's always been left.

[Msdistarr]

@darlincommitme You're welcome. And you're right about how easy it is to get caught up in pointless debates . I've had my share. But there's no way any reply sent to this guy could have been pointless, no matter how you look at it. In one (very long) sentence, this guy insulted Mexican, Arabs, Gays and the person who was to receive that nasty-gram. Sometimes you just HAVE to say something. Just as long as we are not just slinging mud back at them. You have a great rest of the day!

[estalker1647]

@darlincommitme - grin - Steve's not a Left - not one of those spoiled rich poofs that talk about the "needs of the masses" - and feel so put upon when they don't get arugala with their low-cal dressing...the Russian's used the word "narod" for what we have here and now. But they're more honest than us.

[nilradem]

@estalker1647

You forgot to complain about the fancy coffee drinks. Liberals definitely love those. And Prius cars.

[estalker1647]

@nilradem - well, I'm not going to get in a pointless debate about luxuries...but "back to the all" is about survival...having the things you need to survive. a lot of these whiners are complaining about not having luxuries...no not all of them, by no means. People ARE hurting. But you do not help the message, when someone is starving, and you're just somebody that doesn't get to afford to eat what you please any more...

[nilradem]

@estalker1647

I interpreted your comment as a parody of the liberal steroype, and was joking... So to be serious, yes, this is about those in desparate need. In any case there is hypocrisy in any group, but the pulling out the sterotype of the elitist liberal is often a ploy to discredit genuine concern for the poor. Personally, I live below the poverty line. I make more, but chooose to give away what I don't need. I don't whine about it, nor do I hear a lot of whining from the left.

[darlincommitme]

@estalker1647

You have an rather one-sided definiition of leftist - but Steve calls himself a socialist, supports the Occupy movement, lives in Greenwich Village. Pretty much a leftist. He also says it was playing in coffee houses during the Vietnam War that made him that way.

[estalker1647]

@darlincommitme -grin - only so much you can say in 500 characters. Broad brush strokes and cartoons are about it...main thing is, I agree with you....BS labels like "right" and "left" and "socialist" - just takes away from the message - we are all human, we all struggle, and a little more empathy and a little less stupid hate, would go a LONG way...

[3dukey]

only 106 thousand views???..helloooooo

[aussiebloke62]

saw Steve Earle and the Dukes when they came out here back in the day...still up there as one of my favourite concerts...fantastic musicians, great songs, commitment and energy...amazing how relevant his songs are today...words to this one are spot on...

[LJBroussard]

[281shaker]

22 year old video makes just as much sense today.  Awesome!

[valverdista]

Listen well, Steve Earle is the real and honest America, how I wish in my country have a singer like him, you're a very lucky people.

[1canyonguy]

@valverdista steve earle like billy bragg/pete seeger/woody guthrie Ect are universal

[dwagon1973]

I wish he do another album like Copperhead Road or The Hard Way. I liked Steve with his Biker/Outlaw Image.

[levyz71]

the 4 people who disliked this are all apart of fidel castro's communist heathan family

[nilradem]

@levyz71

More likely they are American capitalists, given that this is a criticism of the way America forgets the homeless.

[harrill7]

@levyz71 tell it- dang commy bastards!

[blatantmisconception]

OMG 1$ gas!

[TheHammerheart]

Steve at the top of his game! My favorite Steve Earle time was this - Copperhead Road and The Hard Way...awesome music.

[takin8easy]

Love It, always have.

Alice Cooper........?

You Bet .....Check it Out

[miralgo1962]

Jeez - you bad mouthers should go back to your metal gigs where they think your swearing is OK - Steve wrote & recorded some great rock songs & this is one of them but he has moved on, like he always does and if you can't do that, then too bad

[fatfacerick]

@miralgo1962 huh? Are you saying that swearing is only for people who listen to metal? Are you, like, retarded in some way? John Lennon called McCartney a cunt on one of his solo albums, do you classify Lennon as metal? It seems you honestly think people who swear are worse humans than people who don't swear. Swear words convey an awful lot, and their versatility alone makes them worthy of a place in a vocabulary.

[dvnprt30]

Steve earle is my all time favorite!!! He is America

[oakron]

The total shit !!!! Some of us get it and You know who You are !!!!!!

[oakron]

i get goosebumps. Omg this was the shit and still is !!!!!!

[ianvillafc]

get a grip usa a nation of natural born racists and to add insult shite music,what a pile of crap



[nilradem]

@ianvillafc

I am often critical of my own country, but having lived in the UK as well, I would say we don't have a monopoly on racism and classism. In fact, I found that classism is worse in Britain. Where do you think we got our sense of superiority? There are reasons to bash the US, but for Brits is often an excuse to ignore your history of colonialism. And, second, why would you post that comment on a song in which Steve Earle trying to highlight the suffering of the poor??

[pistolchamp]

@ianvillafc  noob

[gsquared38]

One of the greatest songwriters of our time! !WAKE UP HATERS

[Dainajc]

They only disliked the song because Justin Bierber started singing happy birthday in the advertisment and they thought it was the real song!

[3118Nathan]

[joynthis]

Anti-American my ass. He wants this country to be better, not just some toy for corporate bastards and their pawns. Like, for example, you.

[CommentsSurvey]

@joynthis : Excellent point about "wanting America to be better." We all need to work towards this.

[cliffordhw]
