I am a disciple of the church of hendrix!!! with apostles such as miles, marley, zappa, springsteen (old stuff), motown, p-funk, little steven, coltrane, etc.i like to stay current with as much new music as possible (from hip hop to punk) while still exploring as much classic stuff as possible....coltrane, monk, coleman, zep, rhcp, grunge gods......blah, blah. too many to name.
apocolypse now, the godfather....too many to name...(i'm a brando whore btw)
i am an avid reader....alternating between fiction and non-fiction often. i love history: knights templar type stuff, ancient/medieval also political stuff: jimmy carter's new book, master of the senate...about LBJ's days on capitol hill. When it comes to fiction i would love to sound very high brow, but while i have read many classics...huxley, hemingway..etc., i more often prefer jack higgins, elizabeth peters, james rollins, dan brown type stuff. Can't help it. I read non-fiction for enlightenment, fiction for fun and escapism!
anyone who tries to put other's needs b4 their own...i say try because we will all fail from time to time....the effort is what counts. realizing that you should take care of all people/living things that are more defenseless than yourself...again it's about the compassion, empathy and effort. standards that i unfortunately fall short of myself from time to time.....but i'm trying...i hope that counts.....(man, am i a self righteous pompous ass or what??? ; )
