I probably listen to what's now called "oldies" music. I'm not hip to what's new and trendy and I don't keep tabs on top of the chart action so I have no idea about what's currently happening in the music world.
I don't go to theaters but wait for everything to come out on DVD or cable. I prefer comedies and light drama.

I don't watch a lot of TV except maybe the news channels, science channels, history channels, home improvement channels. I don't know why I still have a tv set, 80% of everything I watch is thru the computer now. Linear TV is so 20th Century!
Of the few commercial programs I watch, here are a few I HIGHLY recommend.
Very painful and personal, this is the story of a mother's struggle to reconcile the tension between her deeply held religious beliefs and the suicide of her gay son. Mary Griffith came from a religious family and raised her four children to believe in God and live a Christian life. Their conservative Presbyterian church was the center of family life for every family member except Mary's husband, Bob. When 17-year-old Bobby confided to older bother Ed that he was gay, the family's life changed. Mary convinced Bobby to pray that God would cure him and to seek solace in church activities. Bobby did it all, but the church's hatred of homosexuality and the obvious pain his gayness was causing his family led him increasingly to loathe himself. Excerpts from a diary he kept, family photos, and letters written by Mary to her dead son make the book intense reading for both high-school and public library patrons.

If you sob at Hallmark commercials or tear up when a vegetable is chopped up, these four books of poems will rip your heart out. Poet Javan can leave you an emotional wreak or feel overpowered with a sense of longing and hope. I typically don't cry at mushy commericals, i'm from New York, we're built with the bitter and jaded gene already inside of us. These, however, got to me and if you're not built "Ford tough" like I think I am, imagine what they'll do to you! Stock up on Kleenex.
