Steve Earle
Part of it is, I think, just to let people know you've got a record out there and that you're still alive requires more work than it used to, because the traditional radio, bug chains of record stores, all of that, that doesn't exist anymore.
Steve Earle
I'm used to writing stories with a beginning a middle and an end in four minutes.
Steve Earle
I have a theory that the people who cook in jails are British chefs.
