About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorFather, Writer, Novelist, Poet, Madman, Anarchist, Lover, Dreamer, Revolutionary.
“What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?”--Rob Gordon, High Fidelity
One of the coolest things about my son Dylan: He associates the Rolling Stones immediately with rock'n'roll and as soon as you say "rock'n'roll" he gives the eternal devil horn sign of recognition...see my pics page under rock'n'roll toddler...he also does an impressive Elvis dance and has perfect rhythm.
One of the coolest things about my daughter Caroline: She freaking loves the new Primal Scream single "Country Girl" and generally, as well as genuinely, likes any kind of dance music...she also has to take her clothes off as soon as she gets home...weird little girl, but she's my princess.

...those kids over there, drooling in the corner, staring in the air and laughing at nothing, wonderfully aware of the being and nothingness of every infinite, absurd moment.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." -Jack Kerouac
