AEROSMITH: EAT THE RICH
Balladeer’s Blog’s recurring segment Give Them A Shoutout Before They’re Dead strikes again. This time it’s a shoutout to Aerosmith and their song Eat the Rich. In this age of bloated rich pigs like Tom Steyer, George Soros, Mark “Skippy” Zuckerberg and the Koch Brothers using their wealth to subvert the ballot box it’s tough not to smile at this song’s lyrics.

THE TIMES’ SONG “I HELPED PATRICK MCGOOHAN ESCAPE”
Balladeer’s Blog’s Give Them A Shoutout Before They’re Dead strikes again with this tie-in to my ongoing examination of Patrick McGoohan’s science fiction/ existential drama The Prisoner. The video is quintessential 1980s cultural kitsch and was filmed at the Portmeirion Resort for Village authenticity.
