New Steve Earle CD (Aug. 24) reportedly has a song called "Condi, Condi"
Earle also seems to have lost most of his "prison weight"...he now looks like an older version of his "Guitar Town" self:

Not surprisingly, Earle’s 13th studio release, The Revolution Starts… Now, is a politically incendiary album and, in some respects, begins where Jerusalem left off.

Earle, who turns 50 next January, tells ICE, "The last record was about post-9/11 for me, and how ignorant I was of Islam. I think it’s very dangerous to be ignorant of Islam at this point. This record’s about the war. So it’s a continuation in one sense, but there are two different things going on. George W. Bush probably sees more of a relationship between my last record and this one than most people do, because he sees the relationship between 9/11 and Iraq, and I don’t.

"This album is about the idea that we’re living in a really critical time in this country and the world’s history, and that everything we do right now counts. Probably more than it ever has."

The complete song list to the fiery CD, out August 24 on Artemis: "The Revolution Starts…," "Home to Houston," "Rich Man’s War," "Warrior," "The Gringo’s Tale," "Condi, Condi," "F the CC," "Comin’ Around" (with Emmylou Harris), "I Thought You Should Know," "The Seeker" and "The Revolution Starts Now."

1. i've heard the song
my local subversive community radio station got an advance copy.

'condi, condi' is a kind of calypso based tune. steve thinks condi needs some loving in her life, and steve claims to be just her kind of man. :)

he says next album he's going back to makin' 'chick music'

2. has a song called "Condi, Condi"
Was it "Shell Oil" that had a tanker named after her? I know it was one of the biggies... but they had the sense to rename it, possibly for political reasons. Just guessing.
