Hello. I am a college music student who is currently in the process of writing a piece about social and economic class in popular music. As part of this project I am asking a series of questions related to class in popular music. Long and short answers are both acceptable.

1. Do you consider class an important element in popular music?

2. Do you believe it is easier/harder for a musician from a poorer economic background to succeed?

3. Can a poor musician who attains fame and fortune remain “true” to his roots?

4. Is class a relevant theme in modern popular music?

5. Do you consider wealth a common lyrical topic in popular music?

Thank you for your time.
