On the one hand we claim it doesn't exist here, on the other hand, like Paul Fussell lays out in his book on class, it works its way through every aspect of American life and living. The song itself eviscerates the notion by placing it where it most needs to be placed: in the iD fuelled underworld."

"Class",

Hello -

I was lucky. 
I grew up surrounded by an abundance of record stores and spent a lot of my teenage and young adult years flipping through stacks of longboxed CDs, tapes and LPs, soaking up knowledge (thank you Jim Utz!) and just killing time.
