I am an odd hybrid: Half intellectual, and half bar-fly. Think Jeff Goldblum, but if instead of getting trapped in that teleportation device with a common housefly, he had gotten stuck in there with a pint of honey-brown ale and a copy of one of Steven Pinker’s 600-page tomes on how the mind works or the origins of human language.... Hip Like Me is the story of Geoffrey Falk’s experiences over a decade of being subjected to various forms of “hair-ism” and real discrimination for being a long-haired, irreligious software developer and aspiring musician in a short-hair world. It touches irreverently on a wide range of very controversial topics, from the nature of racism to multiculturalism to immigration policy to affirmative action to the parodied need for “Hippie Studies” faculties in our universities. Get ready for a long, strange trip, with a good dose of laugh-out-loud humor and occasional language worthy of South Park thrown in.
