He put it in the context of being as old as he is, if he is fortunate he will see this boy through high school, then played a song he wrote for the young one, Remember Me, the last track on the latest recording.
Wow that is truly sad man and kind of out of place for a concert. But I guess he is just that kind of guy everything in his life and on his mind is right out there. That is why I prefer my musicians to if possible never speak i.e. The Grateful Dead for the most part.
I understand your comment about his politics. This time he was a little less so. Very surprising and upsetting is he talked about his 3 year old boy John Henry (mother is Allison Moorer)-this boy has autism. Stopped talking at 2 years. Quite sad.
Hey man I'm glad and sorry given the brevity and obvious enthusiasm of your post I couldn't resist. Big Steve Earle fan also, though I find live he can get a bit full of himself and his politics.
