Writing as a Canadian, mind you, but I think guys like Steve are what make America great. God forbid America comes to a day when the only songwriters allowed to perform are white house ass kissers a'la CMT. I don't know how anyone can think Steve is anti American after listening to his last two records. He sure cares alot more for American people than the president who's pissed away 1600 American lives to date while holding hands with people who are part of the problem, all for money. As a Canadian I'm getting sick to death of being pushed around by the US, but as long as Americans like Steve are free to speak out folks outside the US will be reassured it's the current administration and not the American people that have their heads stuck firmly up their asses. sb
