My Interests

Rock'n'roll, garage rock, hi-energy rock'n'roll, hot rods, comedy, records, CDs, Ben Sherman shirts, cool t-shirts, goin' to rock'n'roll shows at Maxwell's, Weird NJ, unexplained phenomena, and lots of other things.

Books:

I stopped reading fiction a long ago. No conscious decision but I've been told I probably prefer to read and learn. So I tend to read lots of rock biographies (no surprise) and various types of history. Rock'n'roll, automotive, odd and unusual history. I also read quite a number of books about ghosts, UFOs and other unexplained phenomena then I can't get to sleep afterwards.
