I got to know Steve and JT back in the late 80s. I turned into a big fan. Years later I had a small studio on the Row. One night Steve stopped by and Justin came in and said his dad wanted me. Steve told me he was playing the Blue Bird with some friends. And I got to be there, and was going to save me a seat. Turns out the friends were Guy Clarke and Townes Van Zant. It was a legendary show and I was on the front row. Thanks to Steve Earle.

I believe Steve Earle is the best songwriter/performer ever and he is absolutely my #1 mentor and teacher as Townes was to him with the exception of me not personally knowing him. Living legend....

Like a knife to the heart, when he said, honestly, "there was a time that Nashville wanted songs of that caliber -- they don't anymore". So glad I remember growing up with Merle, Willie, Johnny, Jones, etc. Songs like Poncho & Lefty, Two More Bottles of Wine, You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma, Cherokee Fiddle, etc.

I don't know if I'm even within the right medium to comment on this. I've had the pleasure of seeing Steve Earle on a number of occasions in London England. Bizarrely, we were white collar IT industry workers who couldn't resist Styeve's fervour and dowonright grit. Last saw him at the Shepherds Bush empire around 2004 when I smoked my last Cohiba cigar. Totally awesome. I'd seen him in Camden in the late80's when he was obviously struggling against drugs. A genuine Prince.

towns did teach him to write and kept telling him to not give up. the reasons why steve became famous was because of his voice,style and writting...so towns did that for steve and steve believe it or not in my view did help bring towns to the world through his voice,style singing and writting...so if they had not ever met what? glad they did!!! :)

I would like to start by saying I am a big fan of both Jian Ghomeshi and the country of Canada. As a Southerner, I was both disturbed and saddened by Billy Bob Thornton's appearance on the show. He is a not a representative of the South and Canadians should not view his behavior as representative of the South. On the other hand, Steve Earle represents the best of the South. Please keep that in mind.

+Michael Murphey What makes you think Townes would reject universal health care? His family, especially the kids, relied on public assistance, especially for health care. He was not as political as Steve, but was no conservative.

It's a terrible interview. The guy tells you his subject's story right at the beginning while the poor guy who's there to tell his story sits there looking like "are you going to talk to me now or what?" This interviewer's rude and arrogant and loves the sound of his own voice more than he's interested to hear what his interviewees have to say. But worse than being rude and arrogant (fine if it's entertaining) he's smug and dull.
