So there’s this article that you need to read.
It’s an interview with Steve Earle, someone who I really admire, who was awesome in the wire and who’s music represents all the things that make artistic endeavour good and worthwhile-ie that music at most vital is the product of the same struggle we face in our lives to find some kind of meaningful truth.
And really that should be enough.
But sometimes the stars just align.
Sometimes the world feels like it’s finally righted itself after a long, torturous winter.
Halfway through the article is this quote, from the Hardcore Troubadour himself, which I may well get tattooed across the chest of my first born child.
“I don’t care what you think of them. I’m an Arsenal fan. I fucking am. Fucking Manchester. Fucking Oasis.”
Steve Earle is a gunner.
And all is well with the world.
