Jean Baudrillard Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: July 27, 1929 - March 6, 2007
Birthday: July 27
Death: March 6
The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.
