Thread Name: Steve Earle Controversy
Subject: RE: Steve Earle Controversy
We need far more Steve Earles in this crazy world. His words are wonderful. I've only discovered him recently and I'm so glad that I have.

He has the power to wake people up and make them listen, that's why so many people don't want him to be heard!

The Revolution Starts Now.......Let's hope that all our protest songwriters get writing and our radio/TV stations, both here in the UK and over in the USA and Canada start playing those songs and letting them be heard.

PS....That quote above: "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."

...is by the French writer and philosopher Voltaire and here he is:
