The tunes may be old, but the sentiments are as relevant as today's headlines -- the plight of the working man (and woman) hasn't changed all that much since the days of Eisenhower, as these golden oldies will prove. Coal mine conditions, Dennis Kucinich's Presidential campaign and the big lottery payoff... they're all tied into my list. Just in time for Labor Day, here's my list of songs about getting jobs, keeping them, and even trying to get out of them.
