Burning Man - the annual art festival-hippie commune-rave - starts Monday in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. A long time ago, it was a desert haven for the fringe.

Now they’ve graduated to air-conditioned yurts and servants, according to a New York Times story. Has Burning Man officially jumped the shark? One man argues no.
