Steve Earle Thought some folks might be interested--my organization's newspaper has an interview with Steve Earle this week: http://socialistworker.org/2008-1/669/669_12_SteveEarle.shtml Interview with Steve Earle: *Where politics and art meet* April 11, 2008 | Page 12 and 13 STEVE EARLE recently won a second Grammy for *Washington Square Serenade *, the latest in a string of records that have shown him to be one of America's most talented musicians and songwriters. He's also one of the one of the most explicitly political musicians around. He is a longtime activist against the death penalty and the criminal injustice system. Earle's previous records *Jerusalem *and *The Revolution Starts...Now *stirred controversy among right wingers because of their open challenges to the U.S. "war on terror"--especially the song "John Walker's Blues," written from the point of view of the American captured during the U.S. war on Afghanistan, John Walker Lindh. Earle spoke to *Socialist Worker's *JACK TRUDELL on a recent tour stop in Madison, Wis. http://socialistworker.org/2008-1/669/669_12_SteveEarle.shtml - --Vanessa - -- "True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring." - --Martin Luther King ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V9 #220 ***********************************
