George Booker is writing this about himself in the third person. He was considering second person, maybe making this the "Bright Lights, Big City" of bios. He was looking into casting Micheal J. Fox in the forthcoming film adaptation, as the disabled actor would likely portray him with ample charm, sympathy, and fifty-something boyish handsomeness. Recently, however, Booker has realized that only Anne Hathaway or Chiwetel Ejiofor could really capture his essence. Late 20s, Norfolk raised music writer. Former DJ and production head for WVFS Tallahassee, former staff clerk at defunct Norfolk music stores DJ's and Relative Theory. Current Film Editor and Contributor to No Ripcord Magazine, contributed blurbs to Link and Port Folio Magazine.

I know great dance nights have made a great moniker by stripping an article. Would anybody show up besides me if 24SevenCities committed to a [...]

Did any appropriations of the past ruin a work for you when you became aware of them?
Love Hate & The Envy
By George Booker
Love means never having to say “I understand that my feelings for you are unreciprocated and my continued advances are threatening to you so I will leave you alone and do my best to move on with my life.”
By George Booker
This clip, however, subtly (and awkwardly punctuated in that internet way) titled “Love Story” One Man. One Dream. One Chance., I think does need to be seen to be believed. Actually, seeing does not necessarily equal believing here, as I’m not sure this isn’t a fairly elaborate joke.

By George Booker
Dropping today, Cocker’s new album is called Further Complications, and that simple phrase has resonance to me here.
