I don't disagree but my education only affords me to spell "good". Who is this Stellar anyway?

[revbob]

I used to do a radio show usually on Mondays so I always had Labor Day (US). I would play a solid 2+ hours of songs along these lines, mostly folky stuff. The funny/sad thing is now I can only recall a handful

1) Worker's Song - Dick Gaughan
2) Crooked Jack - Dominic Behan
3) 16 Tons Merle Travis

Switching to punk tunes...
4)From the Cradle to the Grave -
Subhumans
5) Living with Unemployment -
Neurotics

If I ever have a daughter, I'm going to name her Stella, after Artois.

I'm going to go the other way and say that "I Want a Job" song from Sid and Nancy.

[Dr. Medulla]

The only thing I can think of to throw in is Swans' magnificent "Time is Money (Bastard)." (Tho, actually, most of Filth, Cop, and Greed deal with being brutalized by work.)

I'm going to go the other way and say that "I Want a Job" song from Sid and Nancy.

I hope you get a real job. One that satisfies your artistic needs.
