First Wave Radio #34 - I'm A YUPpie?? By definition I'm A YUP/yuppie. Young Urban Professional…my trumpet player disagrees with me as I live in a terrible neighbourhood, full of crack and other harsh and illegal substances. I work during the day and moonlight by night, well minus the moonlighting...which brings to question...is being a yuppie strictly about location and consumerism?? Am I a sucker for buying most of my music?? Nobody, will ever admit to their yuppie status...and I cringe to the idea that I'm that guy, with that girl, who dines there, and consumes these things.....but most of all I cringe to the idea that I'm that guy who's afraid; afraid to face the harsh realities of crack, crackheads, crime, my car breaking down, social status, public transportation, germs, dysfunctional families, death, pesticides, imitation iPods...(the list goes on).....the mere thought of what a YUPpie is....is....incredibly YUPpie....let's just be responsible consumers and live with and for all.....but in the meantime let Jimmy Cliff answer all of our questions.
