Mostly dead people. Living people just don't have the experiences I am interested in discussing. I mean, its not like you can't imagine what climbing Mount Everest or being the president is like, right? Whats the one experience no one knows about?
Bad 80s pop, Beatles, Tull, XTC, U2, anything pretty much more than 10 years old that isn't country. Oh, and my friend and former co-worker Tarik's band, Compact Deity . Interesting mix of rock/metal and Middle Eastern influences. Its not what I would normally get into, but its oddly compelling.
Television? Who watches TV anymore? Isn't that what the internet is for?
