SAN MATEO, Calif. - s4story -- You hear it every few days in the news:
*An athlete gets a mega-million dollar deal!
*A Chief Executive gets millions in a severance deal, after getting fired!
*Executives gets gigantic bonuses... even after their business loses money!

And then, if you turn a few pages in, you'll see the real economic news:

*The economy is in trouble!
*Time is running out!
*And things like AI and robots will replace a lot of jobs…

And all this while others are getting paid millions....

So what are the rest of us supposed to do if you can't play pro sports, if you haven't figured out how to make a million dollars on Wall Street or whatever other street you are on?

The best we can do is to try hard to struggle through.

And one more thing we can do is to vent our frustrations with a song about Money called "Big Bucks."

"Big Bucks" is a song about the hopes and dreams of making big money, and the frustrations about not making big money.

Some of the lyrics in "Big Bucks" go like this: "It don't take brains, it don't take brawn, I only hope it don't take too long."

You can hear a free clip of "Big Bucks" at www.barrows.com/music.html and there is a link on that page where you can download the song for 99 cents on iTunes.

The song was co-written in 1998 by Robert Barrows of San Mateo, California, and a musician named Gary Warren.

It was originally released in 1999 to stations that played rap and hip-hop. "Big Bucks" and another song on the CD called "Run For Office," a satire on politics, both got some airplay.

Don't we all, says Barrows, too bad I can't play pro-sports.

"Maybe I'll make my millions if millions of people download these songs?"

"And maybe someday, somebody will also buy some of my paintings and sculpture?

Maybe they'll buy the rights to the video tombstone I invented, and maybe they'll even publish my book, "Cemetery of Lies."
