music, writing, art, energy issues, politics (ugh), cooking, hockey (sports in general)
Tom Waits, John Irving, John Prine, Neil Young, David Crosby, Michael Franti, Joni Mitchell
If it's personal expression, it's worth a listen. I love great songwriters. Jerry lives in our hearts and spirits.
Whale Rider, What About Bob?, Blues Brothers, Braveheart, Hedwig and the Angry Inch and lots of others- Strangelove, Harold & Maude, The Last Waltz etc.
I like comedy and sports.
There are so many but if I had to pick three (okay five) to go onto a desert island it would be:Leaves of Grass, Anatomy of an Illness, Johnny Got His Gun, The Beatles Complete, A book on boatbuilding
Phil Blackwell and all the others who have served our country and paid bitter wages so that the rest of us wouldn't have to. We have to honor these men and women by not recklessly risking the futures of our young people wearing the uniform now. By signing their lives over to the service of the country, they inherently compromise their freedom of speech, which is why the rest of us need to speak for them and ask the tough questions that will insure that, when asked to do so, they are not giving their lives recklessly. Oil is not our most precious natural resource (it's going to run out!), it is our young people. The future of this young, idealistic republic is with them.
