People collect them, idolize them, hate them, burn them and more. Barbie is clearly the perfect cultural icon for the plastic values of America.

Andrew Clay Silverstein called himself the "Diceman", but he wasn't the original. That honor belongs to George Cockcroft who, under the pseudonym Luke Rhinehart, wrote the 1970 novel The Dice Man. It's a fictional account of the life of a New York psychiatrist, also named Luke Rhinehart, who suddenly chooses to shake up his staid, prosaic life by giving over all his decisions to the literal roll of the die. The book was based on the author's real experiences of living randomly beginning in his teenage years, and it sparked a movement that continues today in various serious and not-so-serious forms.

Burroughs and Phillip K. Dick paperbacks are as dog-eared as my own. Expanding from the verbal into the pictorial, Aylett is now working on an animated TV series described by one reviewer as what Tex Avery would have come up with if he'd been reading Rip Off comix.

The Goth subculture is perhaps the least understood of any pop subculture. Their origins are in dispute, but it's generally accepted that the movement is born of the post-punk movement among aficionados of bands like Bauhaus and Joy Division. They are often on the receiving end of ridicule and scorn. The situation isn't helped by the fact that, even when lent an understanding eye, Goths manage to make a mockery of themselves.
