About Me

Hm. Let's see. What is it about describing yourself that makes me feel dirty? I play, love, obsess, freak-out, seduce, doubt, break hearts, have mine broken, smoke, sing, write, sleep, study, philosophize, yearn, coyly reply to all comments..........

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

WALT WHITMAN, Nick Drake, , Black Elk, FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, Jim Hensen, John Fogerty, Iggy Pop, Vashti Bunyan, Neil Young (though he's an ass), Donovan, my Grandpa Rock, Jesus Christ, and Paul (who wrote most of the Bible), William Faulkner, THOREAU, Tennesee Williams, snake handlers, Jack Kerouac (before he became a big fat bigot), Quakers, Rasputin, Charles Manson, L. Ron Hubbard (tell him, "Good job on that tax writeoff that turned into a freakin' RELIGION.), witches, Mark Twain, Sappho, ELIZABETH BISHOP, Morgan Freeman.
