Justice, fun, pranks, fun justice pranks, music - punk rock to name one kind of music I love, Flamenco, Jazz, so-called "world music", a lot of old rock, plus new stuff when someone is cool enough to turn me on to it, FOOD NOT BOMBS every Sunday, killing the empire, ending war, my wife's thoughts as well as her body, resistance to authority, anarchism/communism/socialism/collectivism/left libertarianism. You get the idea.
Anybody who isn't a jackbag.
Music sucks........................We got no good stations here.OK, I love music, a LOT of music. I love Minutemen, Dead Kennedys before they became the Dead KenneDUHs, (I side with Jello in the legal dispute, who may not have handled it as well as he could in the first place, but I don't think he intended to rip the other band members off so much as he wanted to avoid what happened after Ray found out about the discrepancy in royalties; the other guys suck ass as people). I love Christ On A Crutch, Dillinger Four, Public Enemy, Bad Brains, Against Me!, Propagandhi, Carlos Montoya, MDC, Tarika, Chico Science and Nacao Zumbi, Ratos de Porao, Melt Banana, Leftover Crack, Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, Naplam Death, Nailbomb, Susana Baca, Molotov, Molotov Coctail, The Damned, Clash, Pistols, Dick Dale, Fishbone... There's just too much.
I hate most movies. Really, I usually feel that I have just sat and endured some idiot's vison for a wasted couple of hours i could have been making music, trouble or love....I can't stand movies most of the time, except really good or really bad ones. I just have things to get done before I sleep. But when a director really gets me, I can watch it over again to pick up details I might have missed, I love LOVE good and some absolutely horrible flicks, but most American films suck for years now, most I say, not all. I could name some good ones, but I mainly like documantaries. I'm a nerd that way.OK - Welcome To The Dollhouse, Little Big Man, Raising Arizona, Me and You and Everyone We Know, The Corporation, Harold and Maude, Brazil, 1984, It's a Mad(X4) World, The Yes Men, All Power To The People, Natural Born Killers, My Life As A Dog, Citizen Ruth, A Mighty Wind, The Serpent And the Rainbow (is OK), The Gods Must be crazy (strangely enough), True Stories, Uncovered, Office Space), Amazon Women (OF) The Moon (:, Alien (1st), Monty Python "and the Holy Grail", as well as Life Of Brian... The Adventures of baron Munchausen.... there are others. once again, you get the point. Name some others for me, and I'll ad them. I LOVE great movies, but shit like Star Wars, which used to interest me greatly as a teen, has fallen way down on my list. Oh, I like some of the Sschwarrtzsennegger films for camp value, old ones. He's hilarious. But not so much as a ... Terminator was kind of cool one Saturday when I must have been sick or something.
More shit I don't want.... I like C-Span for breakfast..... Daily Show is pretty funny, but is anti-radical to the core, consistantly doing hit pieces on people I like a lot like Ward Churchill, Cindy Sheehan, Hugo Chavez and others...Olberman, aside from his stance on the drug war is often good for corporate infotainment.I get the best info from Radio4All.net/, I download shows and listen as I do manual labor like carpentry, drywall and painting.
A Peoples History Of The United States (Howard Zinn); Foundations and Public Policy: The Mask of Pluralism (Joan Roelofs; Detering Democracy (Chomsky); Civil Disobedience; The Communist Manifesto; Revolution and the State; To Kill A Mockingbird... Uh... I could list more but I won't, I am a pretty slow reader, diagnosed as dyslexic. I don't know, but I am pretty slow, I listen very well so I do more radio programs for info than I read books, and once again, as with TV and movies, i hate to watse time on a shitty book. But I love good books and wish I had more time for them.
Heroes are Bullshit. BUT I admire Emma Goldman, Mumia Abu Jamal, Ward Churchill, Judi Barri, Stan Goff, Doug Dowd, The Black Panthers, The Spanish Anarchists who made collectives work, and many many other people and groups I may list another day.
