Should we restrict its use with adults? Is that the fairer recommendation or are you saying there is little evidence to restrict it for children?

For class reproduction: boxer (paul simon); livin' on a prayer (bon jovi); born under a bad sign (albert king); working class hero (john lennon)***; another brick in the wall, II (pink floyd); sheep (pink floyd)

The rap theme song to the apple show, Loot (I presume hip hop/rap is the best genre for intergenerationally upward mobility, while country/blues for the downward slope)...I'm trying tho; Levon (elton john) is abt a son that wants more than his dad's small bizness

Tom Petty's Into the Great Wide Open (there isn't clarity abt his starting point but the industry does chew him up in the end); Jefferson's movin' on up (if theme songs fit); best guess: nobody knows when youre down and out (abt a $$$$ losing his $$$); money by pink floyd is abt becoming a rock star
