Losh Gets Greedy: GREED (n.) – excessive or rapacious desire, esp. for wealth, possessions, or LOSH.
On this week’s episode of LOSH:The Musical Experience, things get greedy as Lee Blum and Joel Posner, co-hosts extraordinaire of Greed Is Good (Mondays at 6, only on sloperadio.com), join me in the studio.
Politics, finance, and pop culture are all be discussed and dissected and then communicated via song. Healthcare reform? Aaliyah says “Try Again.” Corporate pay cuts? ODB has “Got Your Money.” Fox News? Beyonce & Shakira think they are “Beautiful Liars.” Don’t even get us started on balloon boy. No topic is too sacred. Intelligent debate, sexy music, and a ton of greed.
