For me upward social mobility is possible through talent and hard work and is a glowing endorsement of the benefits of living in a modern capitalist society. it's not so much evidence of a meritocracy, as evidence of healthy nepotism. nepotism is at the core of a good group dynamic. a good group dynamic is at the core of rock'n'roll.
