Friends in Low Places (FROM PEOPLE LIKE US)

In blue-collar cities like Baltimore, there's a nostalgia for the way it used to be. For those wanting to connect with the working class, there are so-called "dive-bar crawls", where groups of suburban kids descend on unsuspecting neighborhood bars and try to ingratiate themselves with the locals, who they deem more "authentic" and real. From the PBS documentary PEOPLE LIKE US: SOCIAL CLASS IN AMERICA.

That is nothing new- old times university students from very good families enjoyed to visit pubs with bad name to enjoy contact with "common people" and artists. And these young men look just like they so wish to contact with anyone- they look so sweet with the older customers there- maybe they don´t have good relationship with parents, sometimes it seems easier to connect with someone if you think you do them a favour when you are afraid of rejection. They would do great job with elderly etc.
