the further the problem was from the solver's expertise, the more likely they were to solve it

"If it could easily have been solved 'by people within the industry, it would have been,' he said."

(So the question here for me is what are the problems that I'm working on that people in my rock-critic and blog worlds are having trouble thinking about, and where do I find people from elsewhere who might be willing to think about those problems? E.g., my ideas on "social class," that we need to think about what social class is, and we need to think about it differently. For instance, I think Ashlee and Jessica Simpson belong to different social classes, but with the way class is generally defined, what I've just said would be considered nonsense.)

Did you ever see my paper on Britney Spears and Goffman's Presentation of Self in Everyday Life? It doesn't exactly turn things into a class issue, but I think it approaches pop celebrity and class in a way that most people haven't yet. Maybe a step in the direction you're looking for.
