Pound Notes, Loose Change, Bad Checks, Anything

There's the obvious topic we could have tackled today for April 15th on the 9:30 Coffee Break. But I thought it would be fun to broaden the scope of things beyond merely taxes (and again, I love the Beatles "Taxman" as much as anybody). So I invited you to help me compose a rhapsody of sorts on the topic of money - specifically, needin' it, and not havin' enough of it.

The winning suggestions started with a classic artist, followed by a group of "counterfeit" ones, and ending with a very contemporary one.

1) Ray Charles, "Busted"
2) Spinal Tap, "Gimme Some Money"
3) Michael Franti and Spearhead, "Hole in the Bucket"
