Hello, nice to be part of this group. I'm a retired corporate executive who's beginning to have some success as a songwriter in Nashville. It only took 7 years!
A few years ago, my family doctor tried to prescribe a simple steroid cream for an ongoing patch of dry skin. The 6 oz. tube was refused by my insurance and I was told I'd have to buy it myself. Okay, I figured it was no problem. How much could a 6 oz. cream of topical steroid be? I was shocked to find out it was over $800! Knowing I was a songwriter, my doctor said I should write a song about the ongoing ripoffs from Big Pharma and Insurance.
It took a couple of years. I wrote several different songs, but I considered them to be crap. After these awful attempts, I came upon this one. Here's the You Tube video for the track. Currently shopping this in Nashville. Hope you enjoy it!
