I am a 30 plus year fan of Steve Earle and met Kelly many times after shows. I found him to be very generous with his time and sharing and a delightful person to speak with, his death really shook us all, he left too soon and even now, five years later, I miss him at Steve shows. I can only imagine how Steve felt and all the people who loved him so dearly in his life, but I am grateful I said thank you to him when I did, for his gift of music given to us all.
Holy fucking shit I didn't know Kelley Looney passed away! Damn. I shook his hand in the lobby of the Old Town School at a Dukes show recently. A few years ago I shouted "Looney!" at a quiet point at the same place, and he looked at me, threw a devils horn with his hand and said: Just for that I'm going to rock twice as hard on the next song." Jesus. Sorry, Steve and all of the fans and peace to all who love Kelley Looney.
Fantastic song……. Means a lot to me
