About this Quote

This quote by Brad Holland speaks with the altering nature of dreams and aspirations in society. Fifty years ago, the idea of a bohemian artist being seen leaving a limo using blue denims and tennis shoes was a symbol of success and flexibility. It was a dream that ran out grab many, but it was something that was still desired. Today, however, this dream is much more accessible and is shared by a much larger part of the population. This talks to the altering nature of dreams and goals in society, along with the increased access to luxury products that many people now have. It likewise talks to the altering nature of what is thought about to be stylish and desirable. The concept of a bohemian artist leaving a limousine using blue jeans and sneakers is no longer a symbol of success and freedom, however rather a sign of the changing times.
