All my favorite musicians, artists, authors and poets, but you'll suffice quite nicely if you're intelligent, passionate, and effortlessly stylish You have a bone to pick with the world but you're not bitter enough to be a tormented, wretched soul. A wicked sense of humor and an asute observation of life's ironies and lessons helps...
