 Flak Magazine: Review of Bobos in Paradise, 6.04.00
Brooks reports that he was motivated to write "Bobos in Paradise" after returning from four years in Europe and finding that a lot had changed: Smoking is out, health food is in; alcohol is out, double lattes are in; obnoxious conspicuous consumption is out, inconspicuous (but still obnoxious) consumption is in.
But, conveniently, politics is not the focus of "Bobos in Paradise." Instead, Brooks spends a lot of time discussing Bobo consumer culture, arguing that Bobos are making the world a better place not by exercising their votes but by emptying their wallets.
For Bobos, purchasing power is a modern-day spiritual exercise; they decorate their homes with authentic Balinese batiks, they cook with olive oil made by Tuscan peasants, and they eat ice cream made by fat, aging hippies.

 Are you a BOurgeois BOhemian? | From the Observer | The Observer

 Willie Bobo

At the time, this choice was pretty much a sure-fire way to get panned by jazz critics, but in recent years, Bobo's albums have been reissued to new acclaim and provided a rich sampling source for breakbeat artists.
