KunstlerCast #29: Tattoos and the American Costume
from KunstlerCast - Conversations: Converging Catastrophes of the 21st Century
James Howard Kunstler addresses the proliferation of tattoos on the American main street. He thinks the fierce looking tattoos on young Americas are actually a sign of how deeply insecure we are as a nation. They're also a form of "non-conformist-just-like-you" consumerism. Jim also takes on the hip hop costuming that has invaded the mainstream and has made young men look like oversized babies and violent clowns. Direct Download: KunstlerCast_29.mp3 ( 14 MB | 17 mins.)
