GUEST,Anne Tait	Origins: Buddy Can you Spare a Dime - who was Al? (64* d)	RE: Origins: Who was Al in Buddy Can you Spare a Dime	05 Jun 09
Before I truly listened to all the lyrics of this haunting and powerful song, I thought it was a former tycoon talking, who built a railroad and then was ruined in the depression. But no, it's the disillusioned plea of a worker, soldier, follower - a guy that everybody liked and knew by his nickname ["it was Al all the time"] who's been rejected by the system he believed in, that promised so much and then left him penniless. Anne Tait, Toronto, Canada. film producer, writer.
