Marketplace, the financial news program I like to listen to, plays different selections of music based on the stories and the day between their stories. Today between a story about events in the banking industry (bailout, further losses, possible further bank defaults) and the roundup of the days numbers they played a bit from Black 47's "Livin' in America". You know, the song with the lyric, "mammy dear, we're all mad over here, livin' in America." I like to think the fact it's St. Patrick's day didn't have much weight in the selection, but rather what the song is about.
