7:54 huh! That's pretty exact. He's ninth to go on stage, and with all the speakers in between you probably won't see him till close to 9 at the earliest.

Now you leave bad sushi out of this!

Something tells me this is not the weekend for Steve Earle to do this song:

Artist/Band: Earle Steve
Lyrics for Song: Home To Houston
Lyrics for Album: Revolution Starts Now
When I pulled out of Basra they all wished me luck
Just like they always did before
With a bulletproof screen on the hood of my truck
And a Bradley on my back door
And I wound her up and shifted her down
And I offered this prayer to my lord
I said â??God get me back home to Houston alive
and I wonâ??t drive a truck anymoreâ?

Early in the morninâ?? and Iâ??m rollinâ?? fast
Haulinâ?? nine thousand gallons of high test gas
Sergeant on the radio hollerinâ?? at me
Look out up ahead here come a R.P.G.
If I ever get home to Houston alive
Then I wonâ??t drive a truck anymore

Iâ??ve driven the big rigs for all of my life
And my radio handleâ??s â??Trainâ?
Down steep mountain roads on the darkest of nights
I had ice water in my veins
And I come over here â??cause I just didnâ??t care
Now Iâ??m older and wiser by far
If I ever get home to Houston alive
Then I wonâ??t drive a truck anymore

Great God Aâ??mighty what was wrong with me
I know the moneyâ??s good but buddy canâ??t you see
You canâ??t take it with you and that ainâ??t no lie
I donâ??t wanna let â??em get me Iâ??m too young to die
If I ever get home to Houston alive
Then I wonâ??t drive a truck anymore

bump applied

but he did do this song…

Jimmy joined the army â??cause he had no place to go
There ainâ??t nobody hirinâ??
â??round here since all the jobs went
down to Mexico
Reckoned that heâ??d learn himself a trade maybe see the world
Move to the city someday and marry a black haired girl
Somebody somewhere had another plan
Now heâ??s got a rifle in his hand
Rollinâ?? into Baghdad wonderinâ?? how he got this far
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich manâ??s war

Bobby had an eagle and a flag tattooed on his arm
Red white and blue to the bone when he landed in Kandahar
Left behind a pretty young wife and a baby girl
A stack of overdue bills and went off to save the world
Been a year now and heâ??s still there
Chasinâ?? ghosts in the thin dry air
Meanwhile back at home the finance company took his car
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich manâ??s war

When will we ever learn
When will we ever see
We stand up and take our turn
And keep tellinâ?? ourselves weâ??re free

Ali was the second son of a second son
Grew up in Gaza throwing bottles and rocks when the tanks would come
Ainâ??t nothinâ?? else to do around here just a game children play
Somethinâ?? â??bout livinâ?? in fear all your life makes you hard that way

He answered when he got the call
Wrapped himself in death and praised Allah
A fat man in a new Mercedes drove him to the door
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich manâ??s war

God is pro-war.

Peace rally draws 100,000

Meanwhile…

About 400 people gathered near a stage on an eastern segment of the mall, a large patchwork American flag serving as a backdrop. Amid banners and signs proclaiming support for U.S. troops, several speakers hailed the effort to bring democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan and denounced those who protest it.

Numbers don't lie. Intelligent people congregate in small groups.

First of all, I support the troops as individuals who are in a very dangerous and unpleasant place - I hope they all come home safely.

But to those who say the troops in Iraq are protecting our rights and our freedom…..remind me again how these things were being threatened by Iraq? I must have missed that news story….

I support the war in Afghanistan. As for Iraq, well Al-Qaeda is officially there now. They didn't refuse our invitation.
