Working people ...

... The Grapes of Mild Outrage. (Via Ed Champion.)

I thought that Lisa Tucker's The Song Reader portrayed ordinary working people both accurately and sympathetically, without any condescension. Which is to say it showed you how interesting they are, underscoring the fact that you that you do not have to go to college to be interesting. Actually, many people who do go to college are not very interesting at all; in fact, where or whether you go to college has nothing to do with whether or not you are interesting. I would myself venture a guess that one is at least as likely to find interesting people at the car repair shop around the corner from here as in any of the law offices in Center City.
