I guess MC is an anti-establishment kind of guy, and this can throw we "establishment types" for a bit of a loop as he seems to reject many of the things we hold dear.

The notion of being unattached, footloose and free to wander the USA playing slots to support oneself might seem attractive to those who feel disenchantment with their lives.
