Jedd Davis wants to know what's next. Here's what he has to say:

We all know that bling bling is now blah blah, so my question is, what the hell are we supposed to get excited about next? Middle-aged women don't bat an eye when a car rolls down Montana Ave. blaring hip-hop. For Christ's sake, Snoop Dog is a Muppet on Crank Yankers! How are our children going to rebel? Gansta Rap - dead. Teen drug use - plummeting. Teen pregnancy - down. Teen suicide - well, I guess there's hope. This whole disney-fication of america select-an-identity thing is going a little too far. Everyone looks the same, straight out of a magazine - I guess that advertising stuff does work after all, my bad. Everyone already shops at the gap, and now it appears, with the death of bling bling that you'll be able to get your gangsta gap on too from brands like sean jean, rock-a-wear, etc., who want to dress it up for the grown-up hip hoppers.

Who wants to give it up for being an individual? Is that even possible anymore with such an emphasis on "public living"? The answer is yes, and the truth is in the written word. I wasn't thinking this in the beginning of the post, but Tin Car will set you free. Be an individual and contribute to Tin Car. Contribute to freedom. (how's that for
advertising?).
