Art and Design: Fits my state of creative.
Punk Rock: Sometimes dumb, but I don't feel dumber listening to it - unlike radio music or dance music.
Local artists, rat bike, homegrown bike, or bobber riders around Grand Rapids, MI.
Bad Religion and punk rock with social commentary moves me the most.
Oh, and fantasic metal about epic battles, 10,000 warrior vikings, unicorns, and quests f"n rocks my funnybone! Manowar and After Forever are favs. It puts these ridiculous, heroic visions in my head that crack me up. It's a bonus if there are chanting monks, sythesizers, and opera yells involved.
Ok, I like hardcore music like the Walls of Jericho, Bane and the Black Daliah Murdur. I think that if you can understand the vocalist, he/she isn't trying hard enough. If the band isn't screwing up, neither are they.
Kung Fu
The Last Airbender
The Colbert Report

Benjamin Franklin and Leonardo Da Vinci: True renaissance men, these guys were into everything - and were good at it. I read that this even includes eating low on the food chain.
Ian Adamson and Lance Armstrong: These guys can just push it and go all day. They shattered the perception of the physical capacity of a human. All the time they visit that spellbinding zone that I find when I'm racing. I believe Lance is vegetarian.
Indian Larry: Now deceased, he was a contemporary artist that stuck to his craft and the world returned full swing to his style. I wish I would have met him before he died. I was in his shop one year after his death. So close.
Albert Einstien: He shifted our worldview bigtime. Even his insights beyond science are brilliant. He knew the importance of imagination. Another vegetarian.
Noam Chomsky: He's a man out there attempting to call out the corruption. The powers that be hate him. Therefore, simpletons will never listen closely.
