About Me

Published novelist, raging liberal, and mother of 2/3 of the Adrian Belew Power Trio and Sarah Zimmermann Trio."I work on the principle that it's not possible to take anyone's views on music seriously if they don't like the Beatles. Everything else is a question of personal taste and therefore debatable. But if you don't recognise the Beatles as the twentieth century's most inventive, most influential and most talented composers, you're pretty much admitting that you've rather missed the point of the last hundred years of musical endeavour. Should you fall into that category, I do not condemn neither do I mock. I merely despair and, having despaired, I move on." ...Mark Bastable www.myspace.com/markbastable

My Interests

Writing, music -- anything in the art world

I'd like to meet:

I'm lucky - I've met almost everyone I've ever wanted to meet, with the exception of the late John Lennon and Frank Zappa

Music:

Frank Zappa, Beatles, all forms of Clapton prior to 1991 (ha, sorry Eric), Savoy Brown, King Crimson, especially Adrian Belew, Project Object, JOHN LENNON, GEORGE HARRISON, The Who, Led Zap...holy cow, I have over 5,000 CDs, albums and tapes...this list could take me ten years to finish. You get the idea

Movies:

Rock School (because both of my kids are in it), A Clockwork Orange, King of Hearts, Local Hero, High Fidelity....

Television:

The Simpsons and absolutely nothing else.(Oh okay, I watch 24. So shoot me.)

Books:

Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman -- actually, anything by Neil Gaiman, Catcher in the Rye (the book which made me want to be a writer as a little baby hippie)...and again, this list would take me another decade to compile

Heroes:

John Lennon and Frank Zappa
