From Blogcritics: Ken Layne's piece abut the fuss over Steve Earle's new song about John Walker Lindh - the American Taliban. I think Layne has it wrong in claiming that Steve is courting the controversy but there are elements in the US Media who are making a meal of it, which is ridiculous. Steve of course couldn't give a shit. I just hope the attention will lead to increased record sales for him. I can't imagine him losing any fans over it anyway.
