A: Pop musicians
B: Classical composers
I’d go with that one, except for quite a few classical composers were very, very wealthy in their day. I’m sure some did live rather sparse lives, but of all the ones for whom I have some knowledge about their personal life, all the well-known classical composers lived pretty posh lives.
hey, not really submitting, but I think Ghandi rather lacked class. He refused penicillin for his wife and left her to die painfully (then twice accepted western medicine save his own life, appendectomy and I forget), participated as a mercenary in 2 foreign wars (non-violent?), and in his dotage always kept a bunch of young naked women in his bed while shunning his wife.
I think he just had good p.r. not class.

Well, someone who was rich enough (and classless enough) to be at point A, but had a change of heart and gave away all that money… would be pretty classy in my book. So I’d say it’s very possible.
B to A : The journey of most artists !
Once again, being too specific results in being rather anile (anybody want to graph this?).
Notice the period? It is obviously a class selector for the Hindu caste system. (CSS = Caste System Selector). I’ll bet the standard is now that today’s street vendors are much wealthier than the Brahmin in a business suit standing next to him.

…referring of course to Siddhartha. For some reason my class during Seminar shot down “leaves” as worse off in the search for Nirvana but I differ. It’s a circle you see, with you on one side and Nirvana on the opposite 180.

Some people set their own destiny.
You could either strive forward or fall backward, but eventually, hopefully, you reach the other side…
