Love this line in particular: "...so while the Occupy protesters piled into Tompkins Square Park, I wrapped my arms around capitalism and grabbed at every job, every boss, every project to hold tight to my independence."

Ok, have you ever heard the David Bowie song The Laughing Gnome. My youngest is obsessed with it. It is ridiculous and punny and if you listen to it you will never get it out of your head, but I think your son's reaction will be worth it.

Fred the metronome and the London School of Eco-gnomics are my favorite. I tried and failed to convince my daughters to perform it at the school talent show this year.

Fair warning, it is not a typical Bowie song, if there is such a thing.
