Old Favorites: REM, Pearl Jam, Placebo, Liz Phair, Sinth; Sinéad O'Connor, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jimmy Eat World, Madonna, Midnight Oil, INXS, U2, Peter Gabriel, The Fixx, Pearl Jam and lots of other alterna-pop style stuff. I love the 80's/early 90's.
Movies:
Too many to list. If it's sci-fi with a very real heart or trashy horror/exploitation, it's probably among my favorites.
Television:
I think HBO changed dramatic television into something better than the movies. Most of my TV time is watching The Red Sox on NESN. Otherwise I'm catching Lost, 24, The Sopranos and Six Feet Under on DVD.
Books:
I like to read, but do so in sporadic fits, without any attention paid to genre. I cannot quote from texts.
Heroes:
My dad, Barry Santo. My mom, Rose Santo. My wife, Sheri Santo. My in-laws, Marilyn and Steve Carter. Roman Berman, my best friend, because he always sticks by me. (There... you happy now, Bobby?)
Stephen King, William Sleator, John Irving, Ray Bradbury, John Carpenter, Robert Zemeckis, FDR, Olympic Gold Medalist and WWE World champion Kurt Angle, and the Food Network's main man, Alton Brown.
