Interested in everything committed to nothing!
Creative people to stimulate my mind, Friends to chat with and broaden my horizons,Nick Cave because he Is, and Patty Smith - what a woman! Tom Waits because his music speaks to me.Not into the whole 'he who has the most friends wins' type scenario. Would rather have 5 like minds than hundreds of drop ins.( still not sure WHY I have more than 5 friends in this strange separate reality world, but hey, I'm running with it for the moment).
Tom Waits, Lou Reed, David Bowie,Patty Smith, White Stripes, Beastie Boys, Black keys, Bach, Vivaldi,The Eels, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Clash, Leonhard Cohen, Nick Cave, Antony and the Johnsons, Elvis, The Beatles, The Stones, P.J Harvey, Fiona Apple, LCD sound system, My son playing really baaaad piano . . . Me playing fuck off rock n'roll guitar in my rare dreams . . .
Volver, Betty Blue, Don't Come Knocking, The Lost Children, Wings of Desire, Jarmusch, Almodover, . . . I sound like some try hard, arty, intellectual wanker (god forbid!), so I'd best mention my old faves, Lock Stock, The Full Monty, Four Weddings and a Funeral,The Sting,Pirates of the Carribean, and quite frankly and unashamedly (well almost),Cool Runnings!
Black Books, Deadwood, BBC Shakespeare, Absolutely Fabulous. Hate reality t.v with a passion, and am not too enamoured of american sitcoms either.
Cannot even begin . . . reading is the essence of life, of intellect, of escape! I'm having to get rid of some of my books to make space at the moment, and it is hurting my soul! Every year or two I re-read The Unbearable Lightness of Being - never ceases to amaze and move me; Steinbeck, Garcia marquez, Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde . . . the list could go on and on and on ad infinitum!
My children, People who live their dream even when it hurts,creative risk takers, couples who stay together,grow together and find joy in doing so - RESPECT.
