Although many people knew when the recession really started you had people denying it for a long time.

Peppers and Prince's Raspberry Beret when times are good, and grunge-y stuff like Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Grand Funk, and early LedZep and this when times are hard.

So the corollary would be: During a recession, if musicians are singing about the market down turn, then we are near a bottom. Personally, I won't be jumping back into the market for at least a few more months.

I think you'll see a lot of great new music coming up. It has an interesting sound, much more layered than 70s music. Some really amazing guitar playing, too.

Mike,

see:
“Dec. 24 (Bloomberg) — Japan should write-off its holdings of Treasuries because the U.S. government will struggle to finance increasing debt levels needed to dig the economy out of recession, said Akio Mikuni, president of credit ratings agency Mikuni & Co.

The dollar may lose as much as 40 percent of its value to 50 yen or 60 yen from the current spot rate of 90.40 today in Tokyo unless Japan takes “drastic measures” to help bail out the U.S. economy, Mikuni said. Treasury yields, which are near record lows, may fall further without debt relief, making it difficult for the U.S. to borrow elsewhere, Mikuni said.

“It’s difficult for the U.S. to borrow its way out of this problem,” Mikuni, 69, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television broadcast today. “Japan can help by extending debt cancellations.”
