There is not a thing on earth that does not interest me.
Josie Maran! I guess that's not what the question meant. Well, if you can hold an intelligent conversation I'm always gonna want to meet you. If you're a cute girl & can hold an intelligent, ok even semi-intelligent conversation, then go ahead and jump to the front of the queue. You mean, there's no queue?

I absolutely loved that documentary "Death on a staircase". One of the most moving things I've ever seen. I do not watch any soaps at all since I am trying to live what's left of this life on earth. I will watch any good documentary or comedy ( Laurel & Hardy, Monty Python, Vic Reeves etc) & catch the news periodically (usually just to piss myself off.)
Ah yes, the books question. I can read. Unfortunately I am rarely in a state of mind that allows it, but it has happened from time to time. I still look back fondly on Hardy's "Far From The Madding Crowd"....
Well, I have reservations with this idea of "heroes" because it suggests something rather superficial somehow.That said, there are a bunch of people I admire greatly. They all seem to be exponents of the true concept of Bravery, in the sense that Orson Welles referred to the matter.In no real order:- the great pioneers of Killing Joke: Jaz Coleman, Geordie Walker & Big Paul Ferguson...Tony Benn...Tom Baker...Buddy Rich... Marillion....Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys)... Werner Herzog...Darkus Howe...Christopher Hitchens...Morrissey...I also have infinate respect for my great friends Mr Barnhill & Mr Fitzgerald & am doubtless indebted to my family.In drumming: Vinnie Colaiuta...Steve Smith...Dave Weckl...Dennis Chambers...Virgil Donati...and anyone that has brought beauty to the instrument.
