Very interesting. There is another no-opening-post thread running that just pissed people off.

On reflection, I think the two threads illustrate the difference between good BS and bad BS-- does it inspire song or even discussion of songs related to the topic? This one sure did.

Since "poverty" is a frequent topic of folk song, maybe the person thought desire would evoke a similar response. Of course if so, the problem was the title-- shouldda been LUST if that was the point.

On the other hand, this isn't a country music site, and folksongs are a little harder to cram into a pigeonhole-- you know the old thing about country songs, that a tune has to have a truck, a woman, and a train in it (or something like that, I forget).
