I am a high school teacher. I appreciate how he speaks of the power of great teachers. Sadly, he also mentions how lousy teachers are detrimental to students. I am acutely aware of this truism, and hearing him renews my commitment in trying to be on the good side of the equation.
im 55, i remember Steve getting big in the 80's. Copperhead Road was playing everywhere, no looking back for him after this point. Well done Mr. Earl!!!!
This song is very relevant today. If Steve Earle isn’t a Christian, he has certainly read the Bible. Never fear Steve, there will be a final standoff. Jesus Christ will return victorious!🙏
This is my favorite Steve Earle video simply because of the dialogue at the beginning and how it perfectly explains why this is such a great song/lesson we could all learn about life on this planet
Reminds me of the Samuel Clements quote “I never let my schooling interfere with my education “ Steve seems to be a well educated man, in spite of his schooling.
Love him! Oh, how he has evolved, not unlike myself... God Bless you Steve Earle! So much loss, so much suffering, Beautiful Soul in spite of it all ...
We must not forget his words: "and when I wrote this song there were people that said you're writing about a lost cause a hopeless case and I replied that can't be right because I am a recovering heroin addict and I simply cannot afford to believe anything like a hopeless case or a lost cause even exist because there was a point in my life where I was considered to be exactly that by everyone including myself"
Only the best artist's can write great music & preform with a guitar, mandolin & a harmonica..... I will be a Steve Earle: fan for ever...... thank you for the music.......
May God Bless you abundantly Steve Earl! I love your music, and your an amazing songwriter, I love all the old Texas musicians....first time I seen Guy Clark I feel in love with his music, and songwriting! That was in 1975 I think? Also Rusty Weir, Steve Fromholz, Jerry Jeff....Ray Wylie Hubbard, The Lost Gonzo Band....I was hooked on that awesome Texas Music! But I was just overwhelmed when you talked about how you were a recovering Herion addict, and you couldn't afford to believe anything else! And I have so much respect for you for standing up and for your beliefs and telling your story! I believe God must have a special place reserved for you when he calls you home! Thank you for your incredible music, and for being the person you are! I believe you put so much of yourself into your songwriting, and your music, it shows. You deserve so much respect! You are not a lost cause or a hopeless case!
STEVE, YOU JOHN PRINE AND TOWNES , ARE MY FAVORITE SONGWRITERS, MAY JOHN AND TOWNES R.I.P., YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE LEFT BROTHER, STAY SAFE, ALL MY BEST, COUSIN FIGEL
I can relate...the 10th grade was as far as I made it. I own my home in CT I have a beautiful piece of property in NH and a great family. I wouldn't trade my guitar for anything. ✌🤘
Steve helps me get to my Sunday 9:30 meeting every week. When I don't want to go (and I was told that means I need a meeting). The replay of Hardcore Troubadour Hour starts at 9. I got the chance to tell him this year. I am grateful.
He will sing his song until he dies or until things happen first. I love the stories he tells! I have a feeling he is rising to superstardom. Not many people have this type gift. Here he mentions Bob Dylan and his biology teacher and acting teachers... nice stories!!! He says he wanted a good English teacher. Sweet. Love his intelligence. I like that he tells his stories with his own guitar back ground lol, some people are already smooching to his music. Here is a perfect example that other people can also write songs, sing, talk, play guitar and harmonica.
+Flower "Rising to superstardom?" Honey where have you been for the past 20 years? I'm glad you're enjoying Steve's music. Check back for some of his first music. Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris were singing his songs in the early 70s.
Me too and Ive seen him probably a hundred times since copperhead road and the stories and the politics and the anger is all a part of being a fan, ive told my kids and grandkids, its much more than the music with steve there is a whole thing, a way of life, an attitude, I love him too ya'll
There are few musicians who put on a whole show. A lot get up there and just move from one song to another. There are a few like Steve Earl and Fred Eaglesmith that do an entire show. If you ever get a chance to see real performers like this don't pass it up. There are others that do the who thing. Don't miss them.
The teachers "were still lying to us about what happened at the Alamo." Steve Earle has his eyes and ears open. Some people don't want to know the truth. It's much easier for them to wrap their lives around a bundle of lies. In this 10 minute video there were 6 ads, one interrupting every 75 seconds. The new TH-cam = $$$
In the Israeli peace movement song, Shir L'Shalom, there's a line: "It is not enough to say "the day will come". We must bring the day." So when I sing this*, I always change the end, where he does the refrain twice with different openings, I use these: "I believe that one fine day, all the children of Abraham / Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem. And we must bring about the day when all the children of Abraham (etc.) *in the shower - I wouldn't inflict my singing on anyone
I don't believe in hero's but if I did this man would be my hero. Fuck Melbourne too cold, too overcrowded and too miserable. Steve please some to Queensland again I have never had the pleasure of seeing you live. (seriously they just chucked an ad in the middle of your song as i finished posting my comment)
Tony Wood ....listen, having that commercialized desperation, like a virus created and sold with an attached ‘update patch’ by one trick ponies= special relativity
Because one can do that when one isn’t being checked for facts: Richard the 3rd and most ( well a great many) royalty spawned for the dual residency kingdoms of England and France, grew up as a child patron at chatieu Belin where there were very few restrictions placed upon first or second ...or even 3rd language
A d as long as you appear to want to travel along my family lines, ibn belin, one of many kings of Jerusalem, is the one who fought Saladin: yeah, the iron smith who , in bloom portrays in heavens’ something or other= my kin
Dear, Steve. Don't pigeon hole all football coaches. They affect many, many young people positively. And, they guide children to make better choices. And, some even support the arts and drama departments of their highschools. Thanks.
To clarify, the enormity of some of the subject matter may concede in rift like desert places where Abraham pondered cutting his own children’s’ throats, May supersede the reconstructive magnitude necessary to stop getting so wasted you can’t find a captive audience...12 step types
TH-camrs need t'unite and take back the free (from commercially controlled) airwaves from the corporate demigods with all their rude, tasteless and inconsiderate interruptions. RPG.🚯☢
Beautiful and poignant song that goes against what's happening in the Middle East. Different CULTURES and BELIEFS can NOT live in peace because they believe they are serving their GOD. Thus, we need the one great power to correct all this insanity ! Can't be done by mortals.
@@chriscravens8318 No, of course not. I did not say you were being moralistic. I did not say he was being moralistic. Get it? It really is quite simple if you go for meaning instead of bells and whistles in your comments.

Please keep it up.
Don't give up on them.

I had the best teachers. Eternally grateful for them.
Beautiful damned song. One of his best and that's high praise.

"thank you! Sir!"

Wish I could hit that like button more than once
What a beautiful man. How much better would America be if everyone were like him.
He outran his demons and sure glad he did....he was my Highschool hero and still is at my age of 50 now....
Love him! Oh, how he has evolved, not unlike myself... God Bless you Steve Earle! So much loss, so much suffering, Beautiful Soul in spite of it all ...

I feel so bad for Steve on the passing of his son.
Still singing the song today.
I could listen to this guy just keep on talking forever.
Yes, Steve Earl is the real deal.
Right, so much insight
God bless your loss of your son he was an amazing man rest in peace and I hope you stay clean and strong
thank u mr. earle
I love this song❤
His greatest song, beautifully performed here.
Their are good teachers and bad teachers just like anything else.The good teachers are in life's goals and ourselves, you learn from them instantly
Only the best artist's can write great music & preform with a guitar, mandolin & a harmonica..... I will be a Steve Earle: fan for ever...... thank you for the music.......
I enjoyed this more than any Earle song I've heard.

Tracy Rogers Thank you for sharing brother. It aint easy
Me, too,
Tracy. I say Steve Earle helped me get sober and, mostly, I have been that way for a long while. He is God's gift to music.
Tracy Rogers stay strong
meeting makers make it ;-) . Carry on Bro!
STUNNING Performance!!! Thank you so much & deep, Steve
When I grow up I want to be Steve Earle.
He will sing his song until he dies or until things happen first. I love the stories he tells! I have a feeling he is rising to superstardom. Not many people have this type gift.

Live and let live. Keep up the message Steve and play till you drop. Great gig in Glasgow last night.
Let there be peace shared among us.
A fantastic evening. Even the rain failed to make an appearance.
Wise man, true man (Y) more people should think like him, respect!
Beautiful!!

Never as so relevant as today. How long must this go on?
Holmes high school 🏫

this is a wise man
Mr. Earl??? When will you he arriving in wild and wonderful almost heaven west virginia for our muscle gathering?

Welche Gitarre spielt steve?
My Civics teacher was the football coach. North Carolina. Seeing a theme?
Tony Wood ....no Anthony, not the one you think you do and , where earlier Steve came from you will find bob Dylan wandering about trying to sing
Tony Wood ....listen, having that commercialized desperation, like a virus created and sold with an attached ‘update patch’ by one trick ponies= special relativity
Tony Wood it all happened the same way in those classrooms for everybody, some got recognition indicated by the lower case alphabetic icons= A+
Tony Wood ...no one learns about this stuff till much much later, some are more capable of faking that they get it the first time ‘round....

If you want to skip the moralistic preaching, skip to 6:50.
Chris Cravens Steve is a story teller...if you want to skip that part, you might as well skip Steve.
"moralistic": when someone talks about something you disagree with.
Eddie said b/c you agree with what he said. See, you just did it to yourself!
@@chriscravens8318 No, of course not. I did not say you were being moralistic. I did not say he was being moralistic. Get it? It really is quite simple if you go for meaning instead of bells and whistles in your comments.
