Steve Earle’s job isn’t only to rage against the machine by simply raging. He’s a storyteller who wants people to be open to hearing each other's stories.

“I’ve been working on that for a year and a half, so that’s where most of my new songs have gone," he says."The way I’m hooked up to death, in general, is different than most people. My guru was Ram Dass, who wrote mostly about death and dying and aging for the last 35 to 40 years of his life. Justin’s death is a different deal. That’s a hole I’ve got to walk around with for the rest of my life. But I’m probably less preoccupied with my own death than just about anybody.

“This job of mine is about empathy,” he says."It’s about people feeling like they’re heard. People don’t give a fuck about what happens to me, they care about what happens to me if it’s a common experience that I have with them.”
