Title: PC Hagiography
Product review: This is a politically correct hagiography of a "poor little rich girl" playing radical environmentalist. Her bourgeois childhood violin lessons were parlayed into "fiddling", reflective of the condescending "working class" schtick that was such a part of her self-image. The dark intimations that "the System" bombed her played into her legend as some manner of "threat" when in fact the genuine source of the explosion was a someone a lot closer indeed, as the latest book on her(...). Nonetheless she was a real success as an American: a whole industry has sprung up around her, despite the fact that her goofy antics ruined Earth First! This piece of work does three things: it shows that in America anyone essentially can define themselves as they like; that no matter how wacky you are some people will follow you; and that the so-called Baby Boom generation has spawned some of the worst symbols of selfishness and sanctified irrelevancy this nation has ever seen.
