Read this piece while listening to The Brian Jonestown Massacre on my commute, and it was an oddly moving experience. Jeremiah sounds like a terribly myopic sort of hipster, though: a society needs more than performance artists and secondhand stores to have culture. Yes, we can all bemoan the replacement of a beloved mom-and-pop with a Chase ATM, but these are developments connected more with the corrupting influence of wealth on Albany and City Hall than they are with an influx of suburban yuppies.
