I love this interview @annaleen did with #BootsRiley about how his early experiences as a labor organizer and party promoter helped shape the way he writes fiction.

"I was involved in constructing fake worlds early on with my music, because the stuff I wrote was about a thriving movement that was only in my mind. It was nowhere in existence. I wanted to excite people about joining it, you know—get people excited about the possibilities of what that movement could be."

Cute moment in the #Visitations #podcast. They are interviewing #BootsRiley and are being introduced to his kids.

> Wait. You're #ElijahWood?
> Yeah.
> You're Frodo?
> Yeah.

It does seem he has a healthy relationship to this aspect of his fame. I am old enough to remember him as a kid actor so I don't just associate him with that one role. To me he will always be the kid mocking an old arcade video game in Back to the Future II.
