The Wall Street Journal has caught up with Hicks with Sticks News in describing the trend toward songs about the Great Depression of ‘09 (HWS News, 12/24/08). A WSJ story of 2/6/09 missed Don Burnham’s “Apple and Google and Gold” but they did include Santa Cruz mountain man Neil Young’s “Fork in the Road” and Marin County satirical musician Roy Zimmerman’s “Buddy Can to Spare a Trillion” to the growing list of music for the fiscally impaired. Play ’em and weep.
