Estate Sales in Grosse Pointe. Roaming through the old 3 and 4 story houses looking for treasures. Live music and travel with a concert or festival as a destination is a great time to me. I like Art openings with free drinks and food, and The Dirty show in Detroit is always a favorite. I have a sweet cabin at a Finnish Retreat, on a lake in Wixom. I love to rock in the double hammock, swim in the extra clean lake, sauna at 200 degrees, and golf. BBQ and cocktails also are a good reason to head out there.
I'd like to meet:
Tom Waits would be my first choice. But good and interesting people are always encouraged to write. I have a good woman who is getting all my attention, and I'm not gay, so if your here for some nookie, the store is closed. God! I hate when I get treated like a piece of meat.,|,, (-_-) ,,|,If you write a note and have something to say, I usually respond. I'm not the type to just add any person or band or web cam slut just to pad my friend list. Most of the people on my list are actually friends. even if they happened to be in a band or an actual web slut. But I WOULD like to have more friends than my dog Gracie someday.

Music:
I love live music first. I would go see Bon Jovi live if it came down to it. I would just hope I wouldn't have too.
In rock I like Brother who is from from Australia, Old Lou Reed, Cake, subdudes, Beatles, Ramones, John Hiatt, Southern Culture On The Skids, King Khan, Iggy and the Stooges, Bryan Ferry, Paul Weller, Bowie, Dead Boys, The Samples, Stevie Ray Vaughn. I don't dig Hair Metal, anyone from American Idol, over produced second albums, and rich kids who play punk rock.
In country I like Towns Van Zant, Lyle Lovett, Johnny Cash, Jenn Cass, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Graham Parsons, All 3 Hank Williams, Bill Monroe, David Allen Coe, Joe Ely, The Wrenfields, Ryan Adams, Blue Mountain, The Gourds, Hayseed Dixie {They do ac/dc covers to Bluegrass} and OLD Chris Le Deux. I don't dig no warmed over pretty boy young country, Midwestern suburbanites with a fake Arkansas accent's and stars who move to Europe just to get away from America, but sell themselves wrapped in the flag, like Shania.
I like Jazz, Blues, Zydeco, Folk, Classical { Not much on Baroque} Soul, Funk, Standards, Ska, Punk, Bluegrass. If you get the impression I like music your are reading me right. I'm not much into radio music, but I will listen to anything once. And before I forget.........Clear Channel is the Devils Douche. They are the biggest enemy of art and entertainment since J Edgar Hoover.
Movies:
I have a 62 in TV with a Video Disc player, Video CD player,Laser Disc player, DVD Recorder, Surround Sound and all cable channels, so I watch alot of movies. I just never go to the Theater. I like to watch suspense, Red Rock West and good action, Lock Stock and 2 Smokin Barrels, classic comedies like Holy Grail, music documentaries, concerts and cult and art house movies. No Steven Segal or Pauly Shore.
Television:
** Great show Alert** If you haven't seen Dexter, do it ASAP. This is the best show on TV maybe in history. They even ended a great season without a stupid cliffhanger and had it all make sense in the end. Other than that, I have always enjoyed people who make fools of themselves for others enjoyment, so I have liked a few reality shows. I'm trying not to tease or mock others,which is very hard for me, so it is fun for me when people do it to themselves. I love 6 Feet Under and the Daily Show. The Simpson's is sublime and just discovered "Cheap Seats" on ESPN. Kind of like Mystery Science Theater, but with old sports shows. My second favorite is an obscure BBC program called League of Gentlemen. Soooooo funny, but it's only on DVD and Video. I have a home theater in the room with my computer, so I am often running both at the same time.
Books:
My over active brain makes it hard to deal with long novels and stories, but Please Kill Me, The Oral History of Punk Rock was great. I also read so much online I don't have much time for paper forms of communication.
Heroes:
I admire people who do what is right even when there is a personal cost . This country was built by people like that, statesmen and heroes. It has been gifted to modern politicians who are the clumps of dreck that float to the top of a pot of scumbag stew. Its a shame, really.
