And there, folkses, lies the difference between the Last Great Depression
and the current sequel version!! In 1933, one could actually purchase 
something
useful with the "dime" requested in the song...whereas in 2008-09 the tune
would have to be rewritten as "Brother, Can You Spare Five Bucks"...?!

FWIW, "Brother..." was one of only two songs of that era that actually
acknowledged there WAS a depression going on...?!

Who can name the other one?!

(whose "anti-depression" pills did absolutely SFA against the current
economic crises...?!)
