Music of course, but I love travel and adventures with friends. People watching. I'm a big time people watcher. It's better than TV. It's the original reality show. Although, I like the real old Candid Camera shows. It's amazing how much like animals we are and how reactionary we can be. That's probably why I like the music biz. It has some of the wildest, craziest animals around. LOL (It also has some of the nicest). I'm a citizen of the United States so of course I like MLB. Dogs. I'm definately a dog person. Die hard cat people are still awesome because they like animals but we're not going to be sharing the same address any time soon. I'm also a water person. I must really like Nashville because I never thought I would ever be living more than 50 miles from a coast. Being on the beach just seems so natural that I know I'll always be taking some trips.
I'd like to meet:
the next act that wants to start generating more money for themselves.

I worked in Miami for a while and so it's hard not to have an appreciation for great latin and salsa music. There's so much out there that's great. These are just a few. Of course, I love anyone I work with and I don't like to get too boxed in to any particular style.
Movies:
Hitchcock!
Rear Window
Vertigo
North by Northwest
Notorious
Strangers on a Train. You name it. The guy doesn't shoot a single blank.
Marnie
Dial M for Murder
Family Plot
The Birds
Psycho.
These are the building blocks for hundreds of other movies that can't compare.I also like stupid movies:
Office Space
Valley Girl
This is Spinal Tap.
Fast Times @ R.H.
Caddy Shack
Wedding Crashers
Animal House
Anything Adam Sandler has done.Romance:
ANY Campy movie Cary Grant ever did.
House Boat with Sophia
An Affair to Remember
His Girl Friday
The Philadelphia Story
Bringing Up Baby
Yes, I like "Pretty Woman."
Television:
I haven't had a TV set plugged in for more than 2 years. Too many other fun things to do. But Seinfeld rocks. And I do like those City Confidentials. The History Channel can be stimulating. And of course who can turn the channel when two Rhinos are going at it on Animal Planet.
Books:
Mere Christianity, The Davinci Code(fiction) -- If those two aren't on totally different ends of the spectrum, give me a better example.I don't read whole books as much as I should. I read the paper and I'm a dedicated comic strip reader. After all, everybody needs to laugh a bit more!I'd say Krasilovsky and Passman have some nice helpful things to read about. I've read them with a few others many times over.My one year Bible is on its' fourth year but I'm always an avid reader of The Scene. Shamefully, I read The Scene much more religously.
Heroes:
At different times, we have different heroes. Lately, my heroes have been the many people I see in town that give their music everything they can without a care, supporting eachother without jealousy. Art for art's sake
