A voice worth hearing

Jack Bogdanski

Outspoken singer/songwriter Steve Earle will host his own radio show on Air America starting this Sunday, August 22nd, at 9 p.m. EDT. The show will be called "The Revolution Starts Now." (He has an album by the same name coming out on Tuesday.) Steve’s first guests will be director John Sayles and Bobby Muller, President of Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation (VVAF).

XM radio channel 167 and Sirius channel 144 will broadcast the show nationwide. Here in Portland, the show is scheduled to be broadcast on KPOJ 620 AM. I'm not sure if it will be tape-delayed in Portland or not; I guess it could start anywhere from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., but more likely live at 6.

Earle is so lefty that he's been banned from the Portland Zoo. You gotta love the guy.

    Musically, he's been a favorite since Guitar Town and now one more reason to follow his career.

    I will so be there. Yet another reason to wish for the radio equivalent of TiVo...

    FYI, the show isn't on here in PDX, but you can get it streaming on the web. They say the start time is/whs 7 pm PDT/10 pm EDT...I'm in now, have only started to listen. Seems as if it's a combo of music/talk...
