Cars should be replaced by bicycles and trains. The entire month of December should be one paid month off from work. Give land rights back to Indigenous peoples. Everyone should have the ability to take the time to be there for their family. I should be paid to write and sing songs.

Blues favs are Chester Burnett (Howlin' Wolf) and Memphis Minnie, both for their music and the way they lived their lives.
Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain for being creative guitar players and songwriters, and for coming from where I come from. Kat B and Courtney L.
folk music ala Pete Seger, lots of stuff from the 60s... 80s punk... Jucifer, Katastrophy Wife, 50 Foot Wave, Holly Golightly, Cat Power...
And all my friends' music.
movies with good music.
roadtrip/picaresque flicks.
Sideways was a good road trip flick. Jim Jarmusch is king of the road trip flick. Anything with Jack Black. (nacho libre is totally picaresque.)
"the sun don't shine in your t.v."
roadtrip novels:
Hunter Thompson Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Jack Kerouac On the Road
Herman Melville Moby Dick
Geoffry Chaucer Canterbury Tales
also I like to write on roadtrips. wrote a song in the McDonald's parking lot in Grants Pass and another behind a biker bar in Wilderville.
also I like: buk, brautigan, vonnegut, beat poets, steinbeck, hemingway (all the fucked-up sad suicidal white guys); also kingsolver, toni morrison, i ching, diaries (from heian court ladies to anais nin, to courtney love), and I love a good biography.
