Dan Sheridan - Big Money - Aspen, CO

Dan Sheridan - Aspen, Colorado - Local singer/songwriter plays "Big Money" from the Album "Recycle."

The "controversial" song that got Dan in hot water after being played following an emphatic audience request. An Aspen Skiing Company Vice-President heard the locally popular tune and promptly had Dan's regularly weekly performance terminated. Detailed in the Aspen Times here: http://tinyurl.com/y8uwgap

This song should be a standard for all folk artist the American people need to wake up.

The profiteering of few, the detriment of many. I am all for capitalism and its ideal, but I also understand the consequences of continual growth and excess---also, you don't need BIG MONEY to create jobs, enhance medical research, or be altruistic...if altruistic self-interest could be achieved; understanding our actions affect everyone and become a more cohesive society and selfless, we can achieve the same plateau of prosperity. Do you know how much hard currency is currently in print?

Very catchy tune & lyrics, all very true in more ways than just Aspen. Welcome to the New World Order: the elite wealthy class & their peasants/slaves (no "middle class"). Aspen has been a perfect example of that for decades. Not surprising w/its own NWO "think tank" in its midst (Aspen Institute). - Signed: Former Aspen Times employee & "ASTC graduate" '75-'80. :)

Agreed... but miners didn't exactly help matters either.

BTW, the dust up over this song featured in the Chicago Trib today.

It's happened all over the UK too! The countryside is disappearing under concrete boxes because people are allowed to have TWO homes!

LESS IS MORE!!!

The disc is titled: "Small Town Love". So where's the love Mr. VP?? I mean he was booked at your venue and the song was requested by YOUR paying customers....sounds like "big money" by Danny was a threat to even bigger money for the VP. So Mr.VP take your tacky fur coat off and pull your wife's hummer out of your ass and take a step back. You aren't getting the message.

Dan is my uncle and I can honestly say that I have only listened to a handful of his songs but when I recently herd about that shallow "big money" ski resort owner canning him it made me sad. The owner proved Dans point of the song, big money ruins everything. Clearly the big money mountain owner just tried to ruined a very well liked, small town musician living on a small town musicians income (partially living off your "Big Money") but mostly living off pure talent and fans willing to pay to
