I believe Steve is a true Outsider and I mean that in the most complimentary way. I have always loved his music. 21 years ago I heard Billy Austin and was hooked. I'm glad he has survived through all his trouble. He has given us so much.
I don't know if I'm even within the right medium to comment on this. I've had the pleasure of seeing Steve Earle on a number of occasions in London England. Bizarrely, we were white collar IT industry workers who couldn't resist Steve's fervour and downright grit. Last saw him at the Shepherds Bush empire around 2004 when I smoked my last Cohiba cigar. Totally awesome. I'd seen him in Camden in the late80's when he was obviously struggling against drugs. A genuine Prince.

I believe Steve Earle is the best songwriter/performer ever and he is absolutely my #1 mentor and teacher as Townes was to him with the exception of me not personally knowing him. Living legend....
towns did teach him to write and kept telling him to not give up. the reasons why steve became famous was because of his voice,style and writting...so towns did that for steve and steve believe it or not in my view did help bring towns to the world through his voice,style singing and writting...so if they had not ever met what? glad they did!!! :)

It's a terrible interview. The guy tells you his subject's story right at the beginning while the poor guy who's there to tell his story sits there looking like "are you going to talk to me now or what?"
This interviewer's rude and arrogant and loves the sound of his own voice more than he's interested to hear what his interviewees have to say.
But worse than being rude and arrogant (fine if it's entertaining) he's smug and dull.
they have a conversation for over 20 minutes and you're complaining about an introduction?? please remember, this is an interview with steve earle and not the host...so you're suggestion that the host is "smug and dull" is ridiculous. the truth is, steve has a conversation with the host and is sharing some amazing memories and explaining where his art and craft comes from...and he's genuine and clearly interested in sharing this information.
Steve Early? hehe. sorry. Cool interview. I missed this one. Can't wait for Tom Waits. It will be the most epic Q ever. I hope he's on his worst behaviour.

That host is one rude little f*<ker, eh., interrupting steady, butting in mid-sentence when Earle's talking...
