FINE, UPSTANDING INDIVIDUALS! I DON'T MIND TROUBLEMAKERS, HEARTBREAKERS, AND OUTLAWS...
BUT NO FLAKES, SCUMBAGS, OR DISHONEST FOLK!
YA KNOW?
XOXO
RAVENNA
One Word: Guitar.
Okay, okay, here's a few more then...
#1 MUSICAL LOVE:
Steve Vai!
I just can't help it, I want to have that man's baby... don't get me started or I'll never shut up!
Eric Sardinas
Okay, so I don't want to have his baby (but I wouldn't mind, you know, *practicing*). His music? GREAT to dance to, and the inspiration for my first ever burlesque act (My Kind Of Woman, AKA the "Pink Act"). He said I was beautiful. *blush*
*Billy Sheehan*
I wish I could put little hearts around the name of THE nicest rock star in the history of the world, but stars will have to do (and really, aren't they just as appropriate?)!
Billy is not only a "guitar god", he's charming, humble, and funny, too!
If you are a fan of my Groupie Act, that's Billy's sexy voice singing the intro - "Misguided woman, knows my name..."
Yeah.
AND SPEAKING OF ROCK STARS...
Here is a picture of my favorite "Rock Star Sandwich":
Steve Vai, *me*, Eric Sardinas, and Billy Sheehan - Somebody pinch me!
(No, REALLY... please, somebody pinch me!!!)
I should also mention:
Dream Theater .
Joe Satriani .
Toshi Iseda .
Also Van Halen, old David Lee Roth, AC/DC (or Hell's Belles, even!), Stevie Ray Vaughan, Frank Zappa, Journey, Queen...
I *especially* love anything and everything Glenn Miller ever did...
... ever, ever.
I tell you, Glenn Miller could have pissed in a pot and made it sound like the most beautiful arrangement of tinkle tunes you ever heard! All-time favorites: St. Louis Blues March, In The Mood, and Moonlight Serenade.
I also really dig the Old 97's, Minibar (Simon has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, except for maybe Holly Figueroa and Luciano Pavarotti), Professor Longhair, Scott Joplin, Hank Thompsen, Hank Williams, Cab Calloway, Andrew Lloyd Weber, Sol Dog , New Orleans jazz - all of it!, Candy Kayne (@@!), John Williams, and the Soundtrack from Muppet Treasure Island (Shiver Me Timbers!).
Aren't you sorry you asked?
MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND, or any other pirate movie really, but that one surpasses them all (even the ones with Johnny Depp, who I adore). Anything with Marilyn Monroe, Gene Kelley, Bob Hope, or Bing Crosby.
TV bores me.
I love, love, love classic English Literature. Charles Dickens, the Brontes, Jane Austen.... *sigh*
Other books I've loved:
The Count of Monte Cristo, Mutiny On The Bounty, Watership Down, Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Series, any and all sci-fi by Jack L. Chalker, Steven King's Dark Tower Series, Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, The Call of the Wild, My Side of the Mountain, Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them (Go, Al!), The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, and numerous books on spirituality and religion.
br. I used to love Lit classes in school - I couldn't believe my good luck: they want me to read books and then talk about them? And for this, I receive CREDIT? Awesome.
*Dixie Evans* and *Dee Milo*.
Hedy Lamarr and Mae West.
Dita Von Teese, Miss Indigo Blue, Dirty Martini, and the Swedish Housewife.
My grandma.
The Norse Gods and Goddesses, and all those who strive to live their lives by the Nine Noble Virtues:
Courage
Truth
Honor
Fidelity
Discipline
Hospitality
Industry
Self-Reliance
and
Perseverance
...whatever their religious beliefs.
And of course, my mom.
