Brother, Can You Spare A Dime? – George Michael

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..re=related

Additional verse omitted in George Michael’s above rendition of Yip Harburg’s classic “Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?”

They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob,
When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job.
They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead,
Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?

It’s a little bit reminiscent of what was taking place in Iraq a couple of years ago, where the enemy knows that they can affect the mentality of the American people if they just continue to kill innocent folks. And they have no disregard for human life.

Okay I’m going to chime in….and while I’m not brave enough to play (for reasons we won’t discuss) I can pick my favorites. I might even make it a weekly thing if I don’t get banned by the host.
jaf48 you made my heart spiral with your 10. Neko Case, Marshall Crenshaw, Beth Orton (one of the saddest songs ever recorded..but so beautiful) and Bonnie Raitt.
I really enjoy the random 10 from the viewpoint of one of those less-than-cool girls who, every once on a while, wears the same shirt as the Homecoming Queen. You guys throw out the really bitchin’ songs and I go along for the ride.
Thanks for letting us music geeks join in the fun! You guys are too cool!

The album cover of Teen Age Dance Party looks like the coolest album I never saw in a cu-out bin. But on the top the fact that its “full frequency” is mad awesome. I think that’s like stone-age digital.
