Lohan fights the power
As the oldest of the Baby Boomers turn sixty, the whole bunch are sure to take the time to loudly pat each other on the back and reflect upon all the social change that sprouted from their wild but halcyon days in that most notorious of decades, the Sixties.
When they do, they will be forced to view today's youth and young adults with a twinge of sadness. While the Boomers proudly marched for civil rights and "tuned in, turned on and dropped out," their modern counterparts brazenly accumulate friends on voyeuristic Myspace accounts and concentrate on resume building.
Luckily, the spirit of boomer summers' past lives on in a red-headed, bi-coastal singer/actress type named Lindsay Lohan.
Ever since Lindsay made the jump from child television star to potential big screen star she has joined the long line of female entertainers who have embraced their sexuality and don't care who knows.
But Lohan has done the rest of them one better. By radically shifting her own body type on a regular basis she has expanded upon the feminist notion that attractive women can come in all shapes and sizes and proven one attractive woman can come in all shapes and sizes.
Those clueless studio execs misjudged what they were up against when they felt the need to document, in a well-publicized letter, their doubts about Lohan's recent collapse due to dehydration and threats to hold her financially accountable if she doesn't cease and desist with the partying.
Haven't they figured out what she is trying to do? You pay her million of dollars to make a movie and then her poor behavior and complete lack of professionalism contributes to the movie flopping. She's trying to bring down the studio system, man.
I was glad to see Lohan completely ignored the letter and was seen painting LA red all weekend and into Monday.
Don't worry Lindsay, they might call you a "spoiled child" today, but in 40 years they'll say you changed the world.
