Speaking of Steve Earle -- which you have done at least twice lately, I've noticed, it's right there in your lists -- I met him in Rome last month. The old lady and I were out strolling around the Trastavere neighborhood and there's Steve Earle sitting all by himself under a restaurant awning. Pretty cool. We spoke with him briefly and he invited us to his show that night. We didn't go, though. I don't know why, I guess we should have. Steve's a really nice guy, just a regular old friendly American sort. But amazingly bearded and talented. And now we're on a first name basis.
Could things finally be picking back up for me? Somehow I doubt it.
Go, Ahab! I would hope Earle would be nice or it would ruin his image for me.
I've got PG 3 and 4 German versions, but on vinyl. Some of the first things I'll digitize if I ever: 1)figure out the software, 2)stop being so damn lazy and get that turntable back out.
He ghosted the lists this week, so RIP to Jay Reatard.
