The Lookin For Money Show-
Hear Dick Dale at the start, doing HMFIC, form Spacial Disorientation, Money Talks, Aerosmith, Lookin For money, Al Urban, and Nothin in the World Like Bein Poor, ShyJohn and Guitar Richie, who was homeless when we recorded this. Then, there was a short editorial break, and then a cover of a GG Allin song, that you might want to cover your ears for...
But! Then, a seven minute Prelude in C Minor, a Bach piece on the pipe organ, and then, Mary Hopkins, Streets of London. Then you will hear a surprising Marilyn Manson set, Another Brick in the Wall, and Like A Virgin.
Okay. Then, I read a piece by Steve Lopez, "Taking pot shots at L.A"., out of Saturday's paper, and another piece, about a town in Colorado, Black hawk, that has outlawed bicycle riders off of it's main street, because of all of the busses carrying gamblers into town, and the road is too narrow. $68 fine.
Then, that mashup, "Pink Sabbath", hard to explain, just listen. Then the Maxwell St. Kletzmer Band, doing their version of Rumania, Rumania, followed by MC5 doing Ramblin Rose, live, and Meatloaf, doing Life is a Lemon, and I Want My Money Back.
At this point, I read an article about a police memo, "Deputies urged to use discretion in making arrests"
Here is a set of Tom Waits, Down, Down, Down, Misery is the River of the World, What Keeps Mankind Alive?, Hoist That Rag, and Road to Peace. Then, a human interest story, about a ten year old girl, who plays her accordion outside of her Mom's office.
Then, the real money shot, Van Morrison, Blue Money, Pink Floyd's Money, by Velvet Revolver, Cash Money, by William Clarke, Money Must Think I'm Dead, by Little Charlie and the Nightcats, Dead Presidents, by Willie Dixon and Little Walter, and then Little Walter by himself, doing Mean Old World, Louie Prima doing Pennies from Heaven, Louis Armstrong doing Pennies from Heaven, Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper doing I Hate Banks, and Eat The Rich, as done by Motorhead. I'm Ready, by the Red Devils, and I'm Ready as done by Muddy Waters and Rory Gallagher, the more traditional version. The Nick Cave does Easy Money. Otis Redding doing Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out, then, Patti Smith, Free Money.
Lastly, Chumba Wamba, Enough is Enough, Rage, Time Bomb, Homophobia, On Being Pushed, Heaven/Hell, Love Me, Georgina, Doh!, Blackpool Rock, This Year's Thing, Mouthfull of Shit, Never Do What You Are Told, Bad Dog,.....The Anarchy album.
Then, I started R.L.Burnside's Come On In Album, Been Mistreated, Come On In (live), Let My Baby Ride, Don't Stop Honey, and It's Bad You Know
