Banksy

New Banksy work appears. Young teenager with a boom box. Gold jewelry, though his clothes in tatters. Childhood stuffed animal hanging out of his pocket, assault rifle pendant around his neck. A wanderer before he can grow a beard. Victim of a recession he did not cause. The reincarnation of the 1960s hippie? He evokes a time both post-apocalyptic and futuristic. What does that say about where our society is headed? Have decades of materialism ushered in a new Cold War? [JCG]
