I'll never believe that Americans have racticed in our history anything close to the purest form of democracy of the world.

I don't really think in terms of obstacles. My biggest obstacle is always myself.
Steve Earle
Image
I wasn't raised to not write about issues, and I'm just living in really politically charged times. You know, I'd rather write songs about girls, but it's just hard to do right now.
Steve Earle
Image
I still write more songs about girls than anything else.
Steve Earle

Maybe I'm not as big a star as Bruce Springsteen because I'm not as good. I don't know. It doesn't matter. I still have an audience of a certain size. I think it's one of the things I'm luckiest.
