Bourgeois. I never harbored any particular dislike for rich people. They simply didn't bother me. Okay, so they snatched some cash — well, that's life: if there's cash lying around, somebody's bound to snatch it. What, I should feel some kind envy about that? Nope. Okay, so they have those ferraris and bentlies — jolly fucking good, let 'em ride this shit, at least they aren't losing exhaust pipes all over the roadbumps. Okay, so they want to live in apartments that go ten thousand bucks a meter, wear god-ugly rolexes and stuff themselves with overpriced shit in "prestigious" restaurants — I'm totally fine with it. As Eeyore the donkey said, we all have our little ways. I have no quarrel with them. But they finally managed to piss me off. Quoting close to the source: "Last weekend, Moscow enjoyed the one and only performance of famous singer from Cape Verde, Caesaria Evora. There were no ads and tickets were not distributed publicly. The event was attended by a few dozen of our very prosperous and prominent compatriots." End of the fucking quote. I can somewhat understand it: guys got money, they can invite whomever they wish for anything. But here's the bloody point: apparently, they're not satisfied with their villas and limos and private jets and seven figure accounts and whatnot. Now they wish for their own private art, some kind that's not available to mere mortals, some kind we couldn't get even after selling a leg and an arm, for no amount of effort. A kind of "white only" art. Even given that, though, I could actually care less; so they want to get snobby — let 'em have it. The problem is that's pointless. They'll pay fortunes for something they can't get a kick from. What do they care for dolorous songs of a barefoot african woman? She's just an "exclusive" toy for them, a weird and boring oddity at best — but, most likely, just another plebeian, a black chimp singing to delight their oh so noble ears. They don't get her. They don't get anything except money and their fucking "prestige". It's their arrogant porky mugs fill the orchestra chairs, it's they who jabber loudly into the phone in theatres, it's them who sat there like imbeciles on The Masterpiece concerto in Romania, it was them who David Bowie swore at at the top of his voice... Stupid and deaf, literal bydlo consisting only of shit, gall and smugness. Your Rich Excellencies, do you mind that I breathe the same air as you do? Me, I'm disgusted.
