I'd learned when I stopped drinking to pay attention to the people who had what I wanted: an ease, an unselfconsciousness, a clarity of mind that, when I was looking for solace in the bottom of complicated cocktails and vials of increasingly shitty drugs, I'd never been able to find.

When the creator of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, was asked for an example of a popular use of the internet that he would never had predicted, he answered "Kittens". A 2014 paper argues that cats' "unselfconsciousness" is rare in an age of hyper-surveillance, and cat photos appeal to people as it lets them imagine "the possibility of freedom from surveillance", while presenting the power of controlling that surveillance as unproblematic. Time magazine felt that cat images tap into viewers nature as "secret voyeurs". The Cheezburger Network considers cats to be the "perfect canvas" for human emotion, as they have expressive facial and body aspects.

"About You Now" was compared to Kelly Clarkson's 2004 single "Since U Been Gone". "About You Now" received generally favourable reviews from both music critics and fans alike. PopJustice reviewer Peter Robinson, who noted a similarity to Kelly Clarkson's 2004 single "Since U Been Gone" (also produced by Dr. Luke), described the song as a "pop-electro-rock masterpiece" and dubbed it "the best Sugababes single" since 2002's Round Round. He praised the song's unselfconsciousness and its "very pleased-to-be- exactly-what-it-is" attitude and noted that "it doesn't sound anything like what the Sugababes have done before but it is instantly recognisable as a Sugababes song".

While attending Dartmouth, he took a modern dance class taught by Alison Becker Chase. Together with Moses Pendleton, a fellow student in the Dartmouth dance class, Robby Barnett, and Lee Harris, Wolken formed the Pilobolus dance company, which was named for a fungus that shoots its spores as much as several feet away, having seen a demonstration from his father during his youth. Chase and Martha Clarke joined the group in 1973; and Michael Tracy was added the following year, replacing Lee Harris.Fox, Margalit. "Jonathan Wolken, a Founder of Pilobolus, Dies at 60", The New York Times, June 15, 2010. Accessed July 5, 2010. Clarke left the group in 1978 and Pendleton in 1983, each going off to form dance companies of their own. With almost no practical experience in dance, the group developed its own unique visual slapstick style. A review by dance critic Anna Kisselgoff of The Times in 1971 said the troupe's enthusiasm "suggest an interest in dance that can only be applauded", noting their "amazing physical fearlessness, humor, inventiveness and unselfconsciousness", creating "witty and theatrical shapes" and "kinetic gags" using their body movements and groupings.
