James Howard Kunstler’s TED talk about the tragedy of suburbia. He’s a bit angry, but funny, and makes a lot of sense.
Reminds me of Malvina Reynolds’ song “Little Boxes”, classically covered here by Pete Seeger.
Malvina Reynolds’ original was featured as the opening song to Showtime’s “Weeds” program in its first season. Hear that here.
Seasons 2 and 3 of Weeds featured a different artist covering the song each week. Here are Death Cab and Shins versions.
