Steve Earle fans

Anybody else a Steve Earle fan in here?

Steve Earle is IN the motherfuckin' house!

Became an UBER-fan when I saw him in 1999 with the Del McCoury Band in Dallas at the Lakewood Theatre.

What a show! And what an activist he has turned out to be.

We're from the same area of Texas. In "Guitar Town" when he mentions the "speed trap up ahead in Selma-town", that's the area where I grew up. I grew up in Universal City, Selma's next-door neighbor.

Great stuff.

Man I love that song.

The guy is GREAT! A true American anti-Bush patriot.

pinko Steve Earle. :-)

Steve Earle is awesome!

he did.Didn't know him;my sister did,though.
There's a lot of Steve Earle fans at DU.Last summer I turned a few people in Seattle on to Steve and they've scoured the record shops and bought up every thing they could.

Since I first heard "Guitar Town". Saw him as a warmup to Bob Dylan at an outdoor concert in St. Paul.

Always had a soft spot for "Fearless Heart".

Don't you worry bout what you've been told
Cause honey I ain't even close to cold
It's kinda soon to fall in love again
But sometimes the best that you can do is just jump back in

I got me a fearless heart
Strong enough to get you through the scary part
It's been broken many times before
A fearless heart just comes back for more

Folks'll tell you that I'm just no good
But I wouldn't hurt you honey if I could
I can't promise this'll work out right
But it would kill me darlin' if we didn't even try
I got me a fearless heart..

I admit I fall in love a lot
But I nearly always give it my best shot
I know you must think I'm the reckless kind
But I want a lady with a fearless heart just like mine
I got me a fearless heart..

I was born by the railroad tracks
Well the train whistle wailed and I wailed right back
Well papa left mama when I was quite young
He said now "One of these days you're gonna follow me son"
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I ain't ever satisfied
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I ain't ever satisfied

Now I had me a woman she was my world
But I ran off with my back street girl
Now my back street woman could not be true
She left me standin' on the boulevard thinkin' bout you

I got an empty feeling deep inside
I'm going over to the other side

Last night I dreamed I made it to the promise land
I was standin' at the gate and I had the key in my hand
Saint Peter said "Come on in boy, you're finally home"
I said "No thanks Pete, I'll just be moving along"

me

Good-bye is all we got left to say
And the Rain Came Down
Nothing But A Child
You Belong To Me
actually, every song on Copperhead Road
Hopeless Romantics

on and on

There was a Kristofferson bio on CMT the other night, and all four Nashville libs were on - Willie, Earle, Cash, and Kris. Was like a damn CP meeting.
