365 with the soapbox

Loved having a sunday afternoon snooze – not something i’d done for a long time.

But the highlight was over two hours of Steve Earle in the Empire (and half an hour from his very talented young wife Alison Moorer). I love his angry songs, one of my favourite on his most recent album is his tribute to Pete Seeger on the quest for justice:

One of these days I’m gonna lay this hammer down
And I won’t have to drag this weight around
When there ain’t no hunger
And there ain’t no pain
Then I won’t have to swing this thing
One of these day I’m gonna lay this hammer down

I love it!

For fear of sounding all sentimental – I loved the way Steve and Alison looked and grinned at each other as they played together…
