@@tomkuz52:Great to hear from a fan of this great singer-songwriter. I have been a fan of Steve Earle since I first heard "Copperhead Road" on the local rock radio station back in the 1980s.
Lyrics are sort of flowing mix I guess. Some of the historical recreations are pretty emotional for those of us whose parents uncles and neighbors served in those conflicts. Nice touch ending with the current generation. Thanks to all, especially those who paid a high price for all of us in the US and round world. Now looks like we better get our house in order.
Thank you, John. I appreciate your comments. You are spot on about how it was and how it looks like it’s going to be. I hope things are going your way and have a good day.
@Steve Earle is this the real Mr Steve Earl?I am a super fan of you music and also Copperhead road was my grandfather's favorite song man I love you so much your'e great
Yes, I am aware. They were hard to come by. I was just trying to do something to honor those who have served and died for the country. Hope you have a good day.
@Steve Earle mr. earle, i loove your music. in fact, i had the fantastic honor of being in the front row and getting a guitar pick from you when you played at the masonic temple in toronto back in the late eighties, early nineties.... yeah, i reached up to shake your hand and you gave me your guitar pick!! the best moment of my life as a music fan and the fan of a star....
Song lyrics makes no sense. If his granddad served in WW2 and married a woman and came home and he’s coming back from Vietnam and even if it was in 1975 that’s only 30 years since his granddad came back from the war in England.
you are right. it's a p-40. yeah...listen to the lyrics:'my p-47 is a pretty good ship, she took a round comin cross the channel last trip..' Btw, the p-40 never flew operations out of england. she cruised the north african skies as the RAF kittyhawk and the pacfic theatre as the war hawk, or commonly, the p-40 Flying Tiger. she might also have been seen in italy but was replaced there by the p-51A mustang and the p-51 B mustang..
