Generally, people who are funny, honest, dreamers, and real. I don't mind meeting rockstars, but I can't talk to them. I would have loved to been able to pick Hunter Thompson's and Jack Kerouac's brain over coffee. Someday, I will NEED to meet The Black Crowes - mainly Chris Robinson, Rich Robinson, Johnny Colt, and Sven Pipien. They have been the soundtrack to good times in my life.
"If music got to free your mind
Just let it go cause you never know, you never know
If your rhythm ever falls out of time
You can bring it to me and I will make it alright
And if your soul is let go
Oh you never know, no you never know
And if your heart is beating free
For the very first time it'll be alright"

I admit it, I am not a big reader. I AM addicted to Rolling Stones and read every issue from front cover to back cover at least twice. Some of my favorite books include Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Ruffs, Killing Yourself To Live, Memoirs of a Geisha, Democracy and Education, In Cold Blood, The Devil Wears Prada, DaVinci Code, On the Road, Big Sur, Outlaw Blues, A History of Rock Music,Fargo Rock City. I personally believe that American Music by Annie Leibovitz is the only book worthy of a coffee table.
All those that have touch my life in even the smallest way and that make this world a better place to live. Those that have courage and conviction to stay true and those that show true compassion by helping those in need and look toward a better, brighter future
