Is this possibly a reference? Several years ago I had some friends who were in a
band called "Other People's Children". When I asked them the significance of the
name they told me it was referring to a (my dim memory recalls) Sociology text
*Getting Along with Other People's Children*. Does this ring any bells? I don't
know anything about the book like publication date or even its exact title or
subject.
