Being a band whore. Oh, and sailing and going new places and pretty much anything that takes place on tropical islands.
Musicians who make cool music and need a drummer to make projects come to life. I am not for hire, I work for the fun of it. Remember, I'm a band whore, not a band prostitute - I'm free and easy.
Punk. No, not those MTV corporate new school bands like Sum 41 and New Found Glory. I don't even come close to understanding how that crap got labeled 'punk'. Rich Kids on LSD (RKL), Circle Jerks, GBH, The Exploited, DRI, Minor Threat, Ill Repute, Verbal Abuse, Dr. Know, Angry Samoans, Fear - so many more, but that's the idea. Other stuff like Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffett, Sublime, The Other, Miles Davis, James Brown, etc..... is also cool.
I like movies.
TV sucks away your time and pulls you into a meaningless vortex which is hard to escape. MTV is so cheesy it's hard to resist though.
A Voyage for Madmen and other books about sailing and stuff.
Ah, Ah, Ah .... trying to think .... can't think .... maybe I don't have any heroes. I've just been influenced by lots of great and terrible people over the years. Remember, you can learn something from anyone so who needs heroes?
