Annette Lareau, the sociologist who coined the term “concerted cultivation” to describe the aggressive nurturing of economically advantaged children, puts it this way: “Middle-class parents spend much more time talking to children, answering questions with questions, and treating each child’s thought as a special contribution. And this is very tiring work.”

"The United States is now spending as much on defense as the rest of the world combined."
Then a little Chicks-n-Salsa afterwards!
You get to a certain age and you really don't care that you're blatantly ape-ing your idols. Here's a sneak preview of a song recorded in a single day at my home studio, killjoy, from an upcoming EP called "Candy for the Vultures" recorded by Togai Atac and Spiro Bolos.

"I Don't Worry Anymore" — The Detractors
Yeah I remember you but I'm not gonna lie
I hadn't thought about you in quite a while
Hope you're doing fine — they said you were
Wonder if you found what you're looking for
I haven't missed a beat since you left
I haven't tried not to forget
So much about you I couldn't understand
But it don't bother me like it did then
No I haven't forgotten
But I've got no reason
Cause I don't worry anymore
No I don't worry anymore
I heard the rumors up and down the block
People had questions – I didn't talk
I know just how things seem to everyone
Me with teeth — you're sugar coat undone
They look and see me moving on
You with the crutch you're leaning on
You say you're staying distant and quiet
But your three-act silence is a hit
No I haven't forgotten
But I've got no reason
Cause I don't worry anymore
No I don't worry anymore
Don't worry for me
I don't for you
You were my first
Now we're a distant two
I don't worry anymore (x4)
I don't want you anymore (x4)
