ROCKOLLECTIONS: MUSIC FOR MONEY & THE FINANCIAL CRISIS PT.1

Alright, this Theme has been nagging at me for a long time.
And our closeness to April 15th and Tax Day was the trigger.
I don’t like what I see going on here- we simply cannot keep spending Money like we are in this Financial Crisis that is far from over.
And I am tired of certain words like Bailouts, Unsustainable and especially Trillion, (who the hell ever even USED Trillion in conversation before a few years ago?).
A Trillion is a Million MILLIONS!
There are so many songs about Money, and others that can apply here, I again do not know how long the series will last.
It all depends on how the muse strikes me. This is free-form radio!
So a musical look at this topic, and I am not doing this Theme entirely all warm and fuzzy, but at times with a definite snarl!

    Great show idea Mike!!!

    You started with the 2 songs that came to my mind immediately, in reverse order but who cares, you got them both!

    I love that the couplet “the root of all evil is money” gets Biblical context. But in fact that is not true at all. The Bible qualifies that as the “LOVE” of Money and associated with all kinds of evil. Just sayin’…

    Loved this show, heavy Beatles who we all know hung the moon.

    Heres some predictions for the next part…

    Money For Nothing - Dire Straits
    Take The Money and Run - Steve Miller

    And a few longs shots…

    The Big Money - Rush
    Gimme Your Money Please - BTO
    a track from Eddie Money?

    Great show as usual!!!

    Thanks Scott, I did these shows last year- and caught some crap for it, good idea or not, lol!
    By the way, I am at work, using their computer- someday I will have my own back!
    GRRRRRR!!!
    I am trying to remember what those first two songs were…glad I got them both…and nice call on your part.
    I don’t LOVE money!
    If I did I’d have some, lol!
    The Beatles did hang the moon, tell RJ!
    As for your predictions, you do better with them than the long shots!
    And not necessarily in the next part.
    There are some odd and forgotten selections, maybe you’ll think of others later.
    Hope you enjoy the next parts, and thanks for writing,
    Mike
