Music, Movies and Writing. Art that is interesting, funny or just plain cool. Major League Baseball and anything my kids are into (How did I ever live without SpongeBob?)
I'd like to meet:
Anyone irreverent and smart with a real edge. I want to meet people who see through the bullshit and the fear and the lies that drive a depressing majority of Americans. I want to meet people who think Heaven and Hell is just another killer record by Black Sabbath.
Music:
SLAYER, SLAYER, SLAYER! Did I mention SLAYER?
Metallica, Sabbath, Ozzy, AC/DC...
Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Floyd, Doors, Hendrix, The Dead, Zappa, Tool, Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Concrete Blonde, B-52's, Fu Manchu, The Sword, Early man, Radiohead, Kasey Chambers and The Blacks
Movies:
Too many to list. Anything from Kubrick, Welles or Melville. Angels With Dirty Faces, High Plains Drifter, The Killers, Asphalt Jungle, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Do The Right Thing, Lola Rennt, Reservoir Dogs, Drugstore Cowboy, Trainspotting, 28 Days Later and all zombie movies by George Romero
Television:
Deadwood, Sopranos, The Wire, Rome, Carnivale, Six Feet Under, Band of Brothers, The Corner, The Prisoner, Buffy, Angel, Freaks and Geeks, The L Word
Books:
Anything by Dostoyevsky or Kafka. The Trial And The Brothers Karamazov are my favorites. Brave New World, The Bachman Books, Hammer of the Gods, Harry Potter
Heroes:
Where have they all gone? When I think of heroes, I think of Dick Winters and the guys in Easy Company who fought like hell across Europe in WWII. This day and age...maybe the rescue workers on 9/11 or some of the soldiers in Iraq. I would personally like to see more heroes doing what they can to "stick it to the man."
