Tuesday Tuneage
Terry Reid - “Rich Kid Blues”
1969


In my twenties I worked for a general contractor and one of the projects the company worked on was building out a new space in downtown Minneapolis for Smith Barney. They were famous in the early eighties for having TV commercials where spokesman John Houseman would eloquently state: “They make money the old-fashioned way. They earn it.” When in a meeting, an always-aim-above coworker in an aside said: “They make money the old-fashioned way. They inherit it.”

I always think of that quote when Dean Phillips comes to mind.
