I agree with you frizz, the wealthy should speak out against the unequal distribution of wealth. However, they are in a privileged position, so unfortunately the material world foregrounds their voices more than the voices of the 99%. As much as publicity of any kind is valuable, the cult of the celebrity is part of the capitalist/consumerist system. This has always been a hard one for me, as I also believe that music plays a vital role in shaping awareness.

one result of unequal distribution of wealth
I just found in the BLOG of George-B / Boston:
self made shoes – heartbreaking
am I allowed to say this, though I have better shoes?

I got shoes, you got shoes all God’s children got shoes,
when I get to heaven I’m going to put on my shoes
to walk all over God’s heaven
