'Live fast, live forever'

About Me

A mess of contradictions trying not to fail in a world that seems increasingly alien to me the more I experience it...

My Interests

It's all about the music. Music, philosophy, eye-liner, velvet jackets, leather jackets, scarves and glitter, slogans, the guitar, literature, writing... knowing that words alone will always seem inadequate, dissappointment, dissillusion, searching...

I'd like to meet:

Peter Pan... or anyone with a time machine so I can go back and live in 1970s NY. People who are real and free and know what it feels like to be alive. People who care.

Music:

I like music from almost all genres... I like music created with real passion by people who believe in something. A few of my favourites are... The Rolling Stones, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Byrds, Birdland, Psychic Drive, The Psychadelic Furs, The Velvet Underground, The Manic Street Preachers (but only the Richey era stuff), Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Television...

Movies:

Good ones... interesting ones...
