| Who lurched from one ill-fitting "identity" to another every summer, going through hippiedom, grunge, gangsta lite, various roots-isms (Ebonics, Repatriation, Rastafarianism), Anglophilia, Americanization, afros, straightened, corn-rowed, shaved, baggy jeans, tight jeans, white girls, black girls, Jew girls, goy girls, conservatism, Conservatism, socialism, anarchism, partying, drugging, hermiting, schizing, rehabbing--how did he get from there to this? Indeed, romanticization of all kinds gets up his nose, be it the platitudes of feel-good psychology, hippiedom, Beuysian hocus-pocus, or the bloviating authors of Great Books.
