Art; which includes art history and also my personal works.Dinosaurs and pterodactyls which are not dinosaurs but flying reptiles. Fact is stranger than fiction. The pre-dinosaur era is even stranger. Chess. It's the best game in the world and never the same twice.Music; I lean toward "prog" but have a huge collection of all sorts of things.Space. I just don't believe we're alone in the vastness so I really do want to believe in contact; I just can't until there's actual tangible evidence.Reading. Knowledge is power.
Any past or present member of Yes any time. Vasily Kandinsky, Max Ernst, Rembrandt, Frida Kahlo, Albert Einstein, an actual dinosaur, Emmanuel Velikovsky and a real alien because even though I won't believe in them until there's actual evidence produced I want to believe.There are some cyberfriends I've been in contact with for years but have never had the opportunity to meet in person. I'd like to shake their hand and say "thanks" . . . you know who you are.
Yes, Flower Kings, Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, Kevin Still, Kurt Michaels, Circa, Uriah Heep, King Krimson, Kansas, Proto-Kaw, Rush, Saga and all sorts of other things like jazz, classical, etc. My philosophy is that one can never have enough music and that if someone is stretching the musical envelope (good for you, Yumi Hara) in a constructive way then that artist should be supported. And of course:
Yes - Changes
