American hipsters are obsessed with who people are fucking and a headline on CNN today was regarding Selena Gomez and a topless photo shoot, as if anyone but her mother really cares if she's topless (she wasn't). There is zero hip in America or maybe it's hiding deep in a cave. Yes, of course that was a sexual metaphor. Honey, I know that because I'm hip, see.
Eric Garner's death received enormous publicity. He said, "I can't breathe," when a cop strangled him and he died but people forgot about him quickly. Then it was more interesting and the story has been longer-running as to whether Bruce Jenner does or does not have a penis and still CNN even enthralls us with the search for Flight MH-70.
There's immense irony when Pussy Riot is seemingly the only band that mentions Eric Garner or even remembers him and, amazingly enough, they couldn't care less about Bruce Jenner's penis ... or its absence.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, the absolute hottest woman in music, is not listed in the credits. The band has a floating roster so who knows how they manage things but one thing they never forget is their set of priorities.
Another irony is that conservatives hate Tolokonnikova and yet she is likely the only person on the planet who would put a bullet in Putin's head as quickly as they. This further confirms conservatives are just a wee bit confused about things.
Conversely, there's Beck. Here's his "Mellow Gold" album. I lasted through fifty seconds before I turned him off because it's exactly the same as every other hip hop sound I ever heard with the same annoying beat. When I have to read the lyrics to know what they are, there's one little problem: why should I waste my time as that's the singer's job (I didn't).
A novel aspect of today's hipness is they make it as unapproachable as possible for anyone over thirty. They don't understand why they don't get what they want but they make it impossible for anyone to determine what it might be.
The West raised a generation of sock puppets but Pussy Riot still knows what whoop ass means and there's nothing more rock than that.
I don't necessarily agree with Pussy Riot regarding Putin as he's the last real strong man left. If he gets murdered too then everything will collapse like a poorly-cooked souffle.
Eric Garner isn't the only one who can't breathe.
