I did. Excellent performance, great song. I was mistaken, though. The song I was thinking of, the one I think closely jibes with Springsteen's, was "Highway Patrolman."

Great video…thanks for posting. And a great story, too.

Did Earle cover "State Trooper"? Would like to hear that. That may be the song where Springsteen's and Earle's songwriting styles intersect most directly.

It would have to be great to beat Emmylou's version on Luxury Liner, but I'll look for the Isbell/Cook version.

I love Steve Earle but thought his TVZ album sucked all the way through.

Minority Report was an incredibly stupid movie. Awful. Classic Spielbergian flash w/o substance.

To all the commenters here who are grumbling that they never really liked Steve Earle: Everyone's entitled to his/her own opinion, but you're missing the point: Anyone who knows anything about music recognizes him as one of the great songwriters of his generation, or the last few generations. Period.

Nice to see "The
Other Kind" and "The Rain Came Down" on a list…not obvious
choices, but good ones. I'd add Hillbilly Highway (in part because of the
brilliant guitar work by Richard Bennett), Billy Austin, Ben McCulloch, I Don't
Want to Lose You Yet, The Mountain, Pilgrim, Angry Young Man. (Good Old
Boy (Getting Tough)…

Jack Benny.

This film had a big impact on me in college. Key moment: Watanabe opens his desk drawer and sees the manuscript of a magnum opus he'd apparently written years ago, one that's never seen the light of day. Beautiful example of how much can be conveyed by an image with no dialog.

Forgive me if this has been discussed previously (I haven't followed these posts for awhile) but I don't understand why paying off the IRS with $600,000 that supposedly came from a long-last aunt isn't going to raise more potentially incriminating questions.
