music, playing my saxophone and my guitar, candlelight dinners, riding in vans, girls named Carmen, the Bruins, and guitar amps all rule
the whole internet
the Beatles are the biggest influence in my life. There will never be better songwriters ever than John and Paul. The Bosstones get full credit for the direction my life has gone. I heard More Noise in 8th grade and knew I wanted to be a sax player in a ska-core band. I wanted to be just like them. The best saxophone sound I ever heard, and the sound I've tried to get since I heard it in 7th grade, belongs to Stan Getz, on "Desifinado" on the album Jazz Samba. You can hear the air. Foof. The most life changing show I saw was the Bosstones at the Middle East. It was the all-ages afternoon show at their very first Hometown Throwdown. I'd never seen a crowd like this in my life, they were fucking crazy. You could tell they would cut their leg off if Dicky asked them to. I knew I had to have a part in that. The most holy-crap-I-cant-believe-I'm-really-seeing-this concert was Paul McCartney. It was crazy seeing him in person playing Beatles songs live, like a dream come true. And he made me cry like twice (Let it Be and something else). I like ska bands that start with "big". blah, blah...
Trainspotting, Fear and Loathing, Basketball Diaries, Caddyshack, the Vacation movies (Chevy Chase kills me), Blow, and Top Gun during my I want to be a navy fighter pilot phase. And the Family Guy movie.
Family Guy and Seinfeld, 24/7 would be amazing
harry potter books, linda mccartney's photo book "the sixties" has crazy pictures in it, and books about bands. "the dirt" and "hammer of the gods" are great.
