What a fun little concept, embracing your material wealth and your counterculture, too. And why not? If you don’t want to listen to corporate radio filled with commercial pop tunes, buy an iPod and fill it iTunes you’ve downloaded on your officially-rebel Apple laptop. Everyone has a little bohemian in them, and if retailers can figure out how to sell to your particular niche market (Hot Topic, Spencer’s Gifts, WhateverYouWant.com), you can stick it to ‘the man’ with your Thundercats Season One collection in one hand and your video iPod in the other. Who wants to keep up with the Jones’ when you have cooler stuff and better taste anyway?
