If I'm not sleeping, reading, or watching a movie, it's on.
I am willing to try anything, but there are generalisations that
hold true, with some exceptions: Country music (the new stuff)
freaks me out - especially if I'm driving through a small,
politically conservitive town - but I love old stuff like
Hank Williams, Johnny Cash & Patsy Cline.
I also love John Coltrane and Charles Mingus,
but can't take Dixieland Jazz.
Iggy's "Dog Food" still brings a tear of joy to my eye.
I guarantee I'll have something you'll love, and something
you'll hate in my collection. It's not a great offer, but there it is.
I don't listen to the radio or watch tv broadcasting anymore;
too many commercials,
and one should always be suspicious of "programming".
I miss these things...

taking strolls around town,

meeting colorful characters,
and free thinkers.
