Hittin the stands November 7th pre Dropkick Murphys show @ Cains Thanks Matt for the time.
This specific question was channeled through myself from
P. H. Madore :"Given Worker's Song, what was your last working class job? What is your reason behind blue collar such music?"
MK: I unloaded trucks in the back of a grocery store and stocked shelves nights. I guess that's a "Working class job". I was raised "working class". My parents were working class, as were my grandparents. Pavers, concrete workers, truckers, waitresses, seamstresses. If you have to "choose" to be working class, then you're not working class. Anybody who grew up that way and is smart strives to do the best they can with what they have. That can mean going for the management position and then taking over the shop, going to college nights(or if you can get the financial aid go full-time), etc. It's not glamorous being underprivileged, underclassed, or underpaid. It's a set of family values, an upbringing, not wearing boots and working in a shop when you could full well go to college.
Alright, sorry…. Rant over….
