Bob och Iris

Citerar här några rader ur Bob Dylans "Workingman´s blues #2"(och hoppas att jag snappat texten rätt):
"The buying power of the proletariat's gone down,
Money's getting shallow and weak
Well, the place I love best is a sweet memory
it's a new path that we trod
They say low wages are a reality
If we want to compete abroad"

Det påminner lite grand om en annan låt jag gillar väldigt mycket, nämligen Iris DeMents "Wasteland of the free":

"We got CEO's making two hundred times the workers' pay
but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage
and If you don't like it, mister, they'll ship your job
to some third-world country 'cross the sea
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free"

För övrigt anser jag att Iris DeMent är en av de mest begåvade låtskrivarna av i dag.
