See Table 6 on page 30.
Class goes with musical taste and leisure pursuits in most rich countries (Katz-Gerro 2002).
For Americans, hunting, fishing, going to auto races, and listening to country music were workingclass

differences in the first half of this decade were modest – all these things were done or preferred by
less than half of all classes – but statistically significant.
