And she has been aggressive about spreading that gospel, aiming "to make the stock market the subject of dinner-table conversation in the black community." At Ariel, Hobson launched the nation's first ongoing study of African-American investment behavior, calling attention to her hunch that blacks lag behind whites when it comes to investment, planning for retirement and putting money aside for college...

It’s all about the aching voice and the snide sentiment on these songs, as the backing music generally sounds fairly stock and not particularly tight, making one long for the whirring rockabilly of Moz’s Smiths partner Johnny Marr.
