Here's a few more: The Great Correction - Eliza Gilkeyson (?sp) My Family Built this Town - David Olney, which tells the chilling story of a rich man s son who gets away with murder and says: "we had slaves before the war, we don t need them anymore , Monet talks money always will." A lesser braggart Joe Walsh celebrated his wealth in Life s Been Good to Me So Far. Anyone remember that before Don McClean became a sort of New England country squire, he sang the powerful Orphans of Wealth There But for Fortune I think qualifies as many early Dylan - although indirectly stated, money and lack of it play a part in Hattie Brown, Masters Of War and Like a Rolling Stone. On a lighter side, only money can buy the creature comforts dreamed about in Wouldn't t It Be Lovely But I think I d rather: Imagine a world with no possessions
