description: MONEY TALKS,MONEY LAUGHS,MONEY CRIESWalter F. Starbuck went to Harvard because he was befriended by a millionaire. He went to prison because Richard Nixon's henchmen used his office to hide a trunkful of none-too-legal dollars. He went into the Down Home Records Division of the RAMJAC Corporation because... because he met a shopping-bag lady on the street? Because he used to be a communist? Maybe just because Jailbird is a magical experience, angry, funny, and sad, in which the things we do on our strange planet sparkle in a whole new light.
