Trustafarian Punks

[Jason76]

Some people lay around - do dope, won't work - use their parent's bank accounts - while getting into left-wing causes (and sometimes right-wing ones). Anyway, these people have never suffered in life. They have this "concern about things" - coming from a perspective of a sheltered brat.

Anyway, though, not all Rastafarians are totally evil - but they all are sheltered to a comic degree. I mean, when a rock star, privileged from birth (or a maybe a long enough time to lose check on reality), rants on about whatever he/she does - how much can we really take in - without noticing the "life of sheltering"?

Well, anyway, some supporters of these types - claim money isn't important and "So what if they're a limousine liberal?". They would also note that these privileged types can donate very well to political and social causes - as well as keep the Grateful Dead, Phish running.

You taught me a new word...trustafarian. There is no perfect life and even though you may envy the privileged ones, they're still not happy with the life given to them. Are humans ever satisfied?

Well, actually some Trustafarians are cool. But no doubt - they get away with stuff - stuff that would bury poorer people, because they're rich.

For instance, James Taylor wrote some cool music - music that may not have been written if he wasn't privlidged. Nonetheless, though, him getting out of the dope habit in NYC (circa late 60s) was simply his money getting him out!

Other cool Trustafarians are David Lee Roth and the lead singer of The Counting Crows. They both had doctors for parents - so do you think that was a help?
