mr earle. your long journey. many clothes, many faces. not difrent, all the same. good to me. but who knows. when tears cease, when the lio lies down with the lamb, not to rend and feed, swords into pruning hooks, i dont hear it, idont see it, sometimes i feel it, or believe i do. not yet. its not near, its not far, dont watch for it. youll never see her, so somebody must tell you. sometimes, often, steve earle does.

killing is bad

[@princessofhesse]

Bin Laden was not a good man and maybe his death was necessary, but it it bothered me, too, to see the joy shouted when his man was killed.

I once had a Muslim neighbor from Bethlehem and his wife was from NYC and one fine day her sister and children were visiting while I was working in the garden my young son said hi where are you from and the poor child replied New York City and my son replied Get a rope/ I was like all over him saying be nice please. She used to get grape leaves from my yard and cook them and stuff them with yummy rice and meat and I miss them very much

That's pretty un-American. He used to make good music. Now he makes garbage. Drugs and being a sellout will do that to you though.
