desire leads to suffering.
but what the hell.
I'd like to meet:
Mao Zedong, Craig Scanlon, Bhagwahn Sri Rashneesh, Dick Cheney, Bakunin, Chblosky, Michelle, Pia Zedora, the lobster from the little mermaid, Jimmy Durante, Subcommandante Marcos, Emma Goldman, Huntz Hall, Daryl Hall, John S Hall's brother Frank, the Kids in the Hall, Halle Berry, Chuck Berry, Chuck Jones, Chuck Taylor, Chuck Wagon (y'know, the Dickies, offed himself...), Jesus, his brother Harry, Ari Up, Upton Sinclair, that guy from that band, Francesca Lia Block, John Poindexter, Buster Poindexter, Poindexter from that cartoon with the dog, Tennessee Tuxedo, Tennessee Williams (well, no not him).
and you
Music:
almost anything at the right moment. I like to listen to the radio, especially WFMU, the overnight shows on WBAI, and 90.3 the Core!
Glenn Jones, Peter Boshan, Max Schmid, Tony Coulter and lately Jonathan Schwartz on WNYC.
and Pere Ubu, Stereolab, the Fall, Meat Puppets, Husker Du, Uncle Wiggly, Smack Dab, Dymaxion, the Gas Hounds, the Alter Boys (NYC), They Might Be Giants, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Explosion Robinson, Jethro Tull (Benefit!), Can, Faust, Free Design, Simon and Garfunkel (Bookends), ABBA, King Crimson (Larks Tounges in Aspic, Discipline), your band.
Movies:
I like movies. I almost always cry at movies. I cried during The Fantastic Four when the Thing's wife took off her ring. It was really sad. You got a problem with that?
Television:
We have a TV now, and I'm watching too much. Usually movies on Sundance or IFC or AMC. Nice to see "Greg the Bunny" back to life on IFC. I'll watch whatever anybody puts on. Or instead I surf the internet. Yeah, that's a lot better. Whatever.
I used to like the Daily Show, the Simpsons, South Park, that cartoon with the deadpan kinda depressed girl, the McLaughlin Group circa 1989, My Mother the Car, Fraggle Rock, Taxi, Soap, Hullaballoo, Teletubbies (well, I'm off the drugs now so probably not), Pokemon, Twin Peaks, that student show on Rutgers TV where kids talk about movies, that show where the old guy lectures about Western civilization and stuff, Uncle Floyd. But now I just flip around.
