Dance, musica, everything/anything physical, the wry and the fruity all wrapped up in one...crazy juice, skinny shakers, the strangely attractive, awkward moments, memoirs, profiles, food writing, treats, lady theatre, the matter at hand...
Most of my interests sans the awkward moments.
Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, The Band, Neil Young, most white men with raspy voices...Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Nikka Costa, Cole Porter, First Nation, Dolly Parton, Henry Mancini, George & Ira (Gershwin), Bette Midler (the early years...), wankers and ladies of canyons...
Some Like It Hot, Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters, Manhattan, The Apartment, The Last Waltz, Big Business, LA Story, Kicking and Screaming, Walking and Talking (among others).
Laverne and Shirley...occasional forays into cable include: Weeds, The L Word, The Daily Show, anything I'm DVRing for research purposes.
Revolutionary Road, Easter Parade, Slouching Towards Bethlehem, Before She Met Me, Talking It Over, Year of Magical Thinking, Oh the Glory of it All, The Waves, The White Album, East of Eden, Franny and Zooey, The Art of Eating.
Lily Tomlin, Patti Smith, Laverne, Joan Didion, Steve Martin, Joni Mitchell, Wallace Stevens, Lady Radner, Billy Wilder, Jack Lemmon, Woody Allen...you know, the smart and funny folks. Then there's some fearless fruitcakes who encouraged me to "move through the space" and "vocalize freely" - they rock - and pretty much anyone who spends their days doing what they love.
