What exactly means “a working class hero is something to be”?
Like something difficult to achieve? Respectable? Or it’s ironic?

My take is that John Lennon was being ironic using his acerbic wit to criticise working class people becoming middle class after having been humiliated for many years.

The 2nd best album with Mark for me. I like 8 out of the 12 songs. The 2 bonus songs should have been included in it - great classics imo!

One friend that lived in London for years told me that in UK there is a strong class structure & sentiment and that you can not jump easily class after acquiring a few money. Like if there were "watertight" barriers between classes.

He gave me the example of David Bowie that despite being elegant and millionaire was identifying himself as a working class. From Maiden camp, I can easily picture Janick or Steve say something similar.

Probably best in UK Politcs thread
