Broke, not broken

Poverty is horrible but most of us will probably need to get more used to it.

So this week a few anecdotes about things you can do without breaking the bank, how we used to make our own entertainment and what is central and essential in our lives Many of the musicians who wrote todays music about the circumstances they were in had little or no money.

Consider these songs about being broke a guide to leaving poverty behind, or maybe a look into the harmful economic cycle that plagues so many. But while the characters in these songs about being poor may suffer from lack of funds, the music, the experiences and the resilience are very rich indeed.

Published by Roy Stannard

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
