On Who's Afraid Of Lana Del Rey?
Donno if any of you non-Mexicans know that her name means the "king's money," as in, tons of dough, in Spanish. She might not know that either. Frankly, as a Mexican American fella, I hate that appropriation stuff, and don't care whether she's authentic or not.

Right, hate those racist tea party people, us hipsters do. Hey! Too bad latin music and jazz have died, right? Oh, you mean the 100 smartest people in pop don't know anything about those genres? Oh. Gosh. Hmm. Let me think this through again. Grumble. Whine.

On Being a Hipster Is an Excellent and Wonderful Thing!
I don't like hipsters because being a hipster is about agreeing to everybody else's stupid 20 year old ignorance. Plus, my experience is that most hipsters are quietly racist. And often untravelled. And finally, middlebrow. Reminds me of the joke about radicals: give them a toaster and a ranch house and they shut up, or something like that...let's see what happens.
