No matter how bad the current financial situation gets, popular music offers something to ease your woes. Hope you haven't pawned that iPod just yet: the LA Times brings you the best in recession-tastic classics:
"Can't Buy Me Love" (Beatles): Single, former Lehman Bros workers will be spinning this one in heavy rotation.
"Fortunate Son" (Creedence Clearwater Revival): It could be worse—you could be broke and drafted...
"Atlantic City" (Bruce Springsteen): ...or hooking up with some unscrupulous characters in Jersey...
"The Israelites" (Desmond Dekker): ...or as bad off as an ancient Hebrew slave...
"Coal Miner's Daughter" (Loretta Lynn): ...or, well, you know.
"Career Opportunities" (The Clash): But the Brits have a point: having no job is better than having a crappy one...right?
"God Bless the Dream, the Dreamer and the Result."
