A pop culture odyssey in search of answers to "Who am I?" and "What the heck am I doing here?"More Fun, Please: Exploring the Strange Intersection of Identity and Pop Culture lovingly dissects the overt and underlying influences of popular culture on personal development and evolution, and how pop culture defines personal interpretations of "fun".   From a reminiscence of the author’s abuela spoiling him at a young age with episodes of That’s Incredible! and bowls of Jell-O, to launching a Las Vegas heavy metal band at the age of 35, to discovering Amiri Baraka's early poem about a comic book superhero,  this unexpected series of engaging pieces offers a radically different way of thinking about the often-misunderstood pleasures of Smokey and the Bandit, Saturday morning cartoons, and roller-skating rinks. Sometimes serious, occasionally silly, More Fun, Please will inspire both pop culture aficionados and overworked busy people to dig in a little deeper into consciously experiencing more fun. Please!
