John Walker's Blues

Former heroin junkie-come-country music legend, Steve Earle, tired of the hot water country stars have been in with their ballads to America (a la Charlie Daniels: This ain't a rag, its a flag, and I don't wear it on my head), has turned traitor by recording, "John Walker's Blues," in which the former American Taliban-er is likened to Jesus Christ. In the words of Hank Williams Jr., "I'd like to spit some Beechnut in that dude's eye!"

Anyone interested in shooting skeet using my extensive Steve Earle record collection can drop me a line.
