Think back, dear reader, to the hard-working days of yore. There's the aforementioned Kings' \"Switching To Glide\", and also Huey Lewis' \"Workin For A Livin\", Rush's \"Working Man\", Styx's \"Blue Collar Man\", Loverboy's \"Working For The Weekend\", BTO's \"Takin Care Of Business\", Dolly Parton's \"9 To 5\", The Beatles' \"A Hard Day's Night\", Superchuck's \"Slack Motherfucker\"<\/a>, etc.. <\/p>\n Where are today's tributes to the hard-working blue-collar men and women? Did they go offshore with the blue-collar jobs? Are there Chinese and Indian songs about the Weekend? Do they have weekends in China?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" That line in the Kings' song below (\"Nothing matters but the weekend, from a Tuesday point of view\"), reminds me of something I was thinking of a few days ago: do people write songs about working any more ?
