Default Re: Terrific Bands not quite able to break through to the \"Bigtime\"

In the early 90s Steve Earle was about to sign a multi-million-dollar record deal. He was going to be Bruce Springsteen. He had his ticket to New York to go sign the deal, and he made it all the way to the airport. Then he turned around and sold his ticket for $100 and went and bought some crack. He didn't write a song for four years. He called it his "vacation in the ghetto."
