From watching John Wayne, Didion was introduced to many ideas of how a man is to carry himself as well as how a woman should herself. John Wayne was displayed as a tough, strong man who would handle situations physically if needed. He was presented as a protector, somebody who could solve any problem that arouse for the woman-folk. Didion also learned women were intended to be at the beck and call of their man. Didion, presumably, had some alterations to her concept of men due to her exposure to John Wayne. Men, in her eyes, were supposed to be something that was risky, tough, adventurous guy.
A band that has effected my life is the hip-hop collective Odd Future. Odd Future is possibly one of the most vulgar collective in music history, with vicious declarations against people, groups and ideas. Odd Future (OFWGKTA for shortened version of their elongated name) always represented a group that strives off individuality and uses vulgarity and crude humor to pass along their ideas of how one should live, care-free and individually. OF's ring-leader Tyler, the Creator has composed several songs diving much deeper into darker thoughts which has always been interested and thought provoking for me.
