I love to travel and do it every chance I get. Motorcycle races; Iowa Stars hockey; San Antonio Spurs; New York Jets; San Francisco Giants.
Working for a living is so over-rated. There's too much to see and do. Folks retire at 60, get sick and die. That sucks.
I'd like to meet:
I'd love to have my Dad back. He died 13 years ago and I miss him terribly. We meet in a few scattered dreams but I'd do anything for more time with him. He was an awesome musician and I didn't appreciate him nearly enough when he was alive. All those years of his playing the saxophone and I'd love to hear it now. I'd also like to meet my Grandma Hannah. She died when I was only 3 years old. I'd also like to meet more dead folks like John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Theresa, and Tommy Bolin. Then there's Lance Armstrong because he is such an inspiration for all of us. A whole list of musicians, actors and athletes because they are just so damned amazing.
Music:
The Black Crowes, Prince, Mary J Blige, Complete Control, The Killers, Depeche Mode, Lynard Skynard, Led Zeppelin, John Mayer, R.E.M., Red Hot Chili Peppers, AC/DC, SlipKnot, The Cure, Rick James, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Clash, Johnny Cash, The Eagles, Korn, Tupac, The Robert Randolph Band, The Police, Warren Zevon, The Cars, Madonna, U2, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Nelly, ZZ Top, The Rolling Stones, Jay Z, The Allman Brothers, Stone Sour, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Nicks. And a ton of others that I'll remember when I hear a song. Lots of local bands including The Nadas, The Envy Corps, Wreckage of the Modern City, Jason Walsmith and the Trained Professionals, The Soapbox Prophets and the list goes on. Also, last but not least, my nephews Paul and Wade Thompson. They are in several bands including Tyler Thompson. They are unbelievable at what they do. I am so proud of them for continuing to do what they love. I'm grateful to Wade cuz he introduced me to some great people on My Space.
