The significance of Steve Earle


He may be more significant as a scholar of music than a musician, and he's one of the best musicians out there.
"The difference between us and the animals is not an opposing thumb. It's the fact that we make and consume art. That's one of the most fucked up things about American society. We think art is an elective. We call them elective subjects in school. But it's not an elective, dude. It's sustenance to human beings, just like food is. This is hat keeps our souls from dying. It's what keeps us from becoming Dick Cheney."
