Well, it's true that people can't help being born privileged any more than they can help being born poor but I guess it's just a tad easier to do what you want when you've got good family support.

It doesn't bother me that some of the most successful rock stars came from posh backgrounds because they still made good music.

What does bother me is 'musicians' who are less talented but have the confidence to succeed that privilege brings. I can't bear Florence Welch (Florence and the Machine) because she sings like an actress trying to be a singer and acts like wayward attention-seeking princess.

I actually believe that this poshing-up has happened substantially in the UK folk scene too. In a way it reflects the upwardly mobile society we've aspired to in recent decades, but a true working class hero is now found on the football field, not the music scene.
