I'd like to meet:
I already met David Lee Roth (a few times), so I guess that is out of the way... would like to meet a US President once, that would be interesting... it might have been interesting to have met my father before he passed away several years ago.
Hmmm.... I am not sure I am answering this question correctly... I guess if this section is meant to describe what I look for in a companion or friend, then some of the qualities I admire the most are: intelligence, a sense of humor, an optimistic outlook on life, a sense of ambition and purpose, minimal baggage, an appreciation for music (especially live music), a healthy level of energy and enthusiasm, a sense of gratitude and the ability to make the best of situations.
Music:
I am still soooooooooooo stuck in the 80's it ain't even funny! Some of my faves that were POPULAR IN THE 80's include: classic Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Kiss, Dokken, INXS, Oingo Boingo, The B-52's, U2, Triumph, Journey, Kate Bush, The Untouchables, OMD, The Cure, Cyndi Lauper, Depeche Mode, Berlin, the English Beat and UB40. Some NON-80's FAVES include: Garbage, The Presidents of the United States of America, Matchbox Twenty, The Call, Foo Fighters, The Killers, ABBA and the band Chicago. Major points if you've ever heard of a LA band named Shark Island (former Sharks) that never really made it big (see my top friends for the reunited band), or The Thornbirds (former Ducks) that are still struggling to make it big.
