More From Steve Earle

Grace abounds in contemporary movies, books, novels, films and music. if god is not in the whirlwind, he may be in a woody allen film, or a bruce springsteen concert. most people understand imagery and symbol better than doctrine and dogma. images touch hearts and awaken imaginations. one theologian suggested that springsteen's 'tunnel of love' album, in which he symbolically sings of sin, death, despair and redemption, is more important for catholics than the pope's last visit when he spoke of morality only in doctrinal propositions.
Love Book Heart
Die hard with a vengeance shooting was a great time, because we had an interesting script. the first script was called simon says, and something was going on, because some days we'd get to work, but we wouldn't actually have dialogue. we would go to bruce's willis trailer, and they'd say, "okay, you have to go from 168th street to 97th street today. we're going to do it in the cab, and sam, you say this. bruce, what do you want to say?" and that's how bruce's "hey, zeus!" thing came up.

I don't know what bruce willis has done in real life. we know actors have certainly had tirades - that's for sure. i never had troubles with him, but the big issue is really less about what bruce is, as opposed to - this behavior has taken place, and sometimes it came out at something that had credibility, as opposed to, "no, i want to be fat and have a beard." other people say, "i don't give a damn about the credibility. i paid $20 million. i want to see a movie star."
Real Taken People
People think once you get famous and rich you move out of the public sphere and you have nothing left to write about. i've heard that - bruce springsteen was this real street boy, now he's got this big house. how does that compute? if you don't look at the material side of someone's life, if you look at more the emotional side, there's always a wealth of stuff to write about.

And even if we win, if we win, hah! even if we win! even if we play so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if god in heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the field; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from mohawk because they've got all the money! it just doesn't matter if we win or we lose. it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter!

Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.
