“Economic justice isn’t the most popular theme in pop music. It’s a distant third behind girls and cars. Oh, wait. We made an accounting error: it’s behind girls, cars, surfing, drinking, food, technology, space travel, dogs, boys, and other topics. But there is a persistent strain of pop songs about haves, have-nots, and the distance between them.”
