If you haven't already figured it out - MUSIC! I have been involved in music from day one in my life. My parents both had a musical background. When I was 14 my dad told me that I would never write a song, let alone a good song. Since that time I have written well over 500 songs with at least 150 good ones. I am playing with a band right now and would like to get a great musician such as Billy Corgan to give me a hand with production on a solo album in the near future.
The list is long and this is not a finished list: Bono, Billy Corgan, Michael Stipe, Tim Burton, Robert Smith, Anne Rice, Beck, Thom Yorke, Anthony Hopkins, Kevin Smith, Christopher Nolan and Danny Elfman. I'll come back to this again soon.
My favorites are U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, The Cure, R.E.M., anything by Danny Elfman and John Lennon.
There are so many: Reality Bites, Interview With the Vampire, Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Seven, Saw.... I'll come back.
Friends, Scrubs, The Office, The Soup, Will and Grace, 24...
Anything by Anne Rice, and my ultimate favorite - C.S. Lewis.
