Please see this blog entry . My favorite channels on Sirius satellite radio are, in numerical order, Classic Vinyl (early classic rock), Classic Rewind (later classic rock), First Wave (classic alternative), The Underground Garage , Left of Center ("new," indie, and college rock), Outlaw Country (created by Little Steven, oddly enough), Sirius Blues .

Books:

I don't have any favorite books, but I want to mention Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières because it is set on the Greek island of Cephalonia mostly during World War II, where and when my father was a child.

Heroes:

Diogenes and whoever discovers a process to erase memories, as in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
