music, literature, languages, shiny objects, nice boys, fire
I know that not all of these people are still alive... this is who I would like to meet... if it were possible. Most of them are people with whom I would love to have an intellectual conversation, some of them are just amazing musicians, and all of them are people I admire. I've already been lucky enough to meet some of those people... these are the ones I haven't.
Kurt Vonnegut (RIP)
Gerard Way... and not just because he's good-looking. Listen to the lyrics he writes. Especially in The Black Parade.
Bono... duh. Really interesting guy.
Ray Toro... AMAZING guitarist
Yuri Ruley -- recently got to meet Mike & Tom, but I still NEED to meet Yuri. Then my life will be complete.
Muse -- all three of them are incredible musicians and Matthew Bellamy writes some really interesting lyrics.
Julie Andrews = my hero.
Trevor McNevan... don't even get me started.
KYO -- a French band with awesome music and some pretty remarkable and intriguing lyrics.
One Bad Pig. One of the very first Christian punk bands and Cornerstone legends.
Jimmy Stewart (RIP). SO not joking.
Showbread. Amazing band. Unbelievable creativity and talent.
...plus all those bands listed over -- there (and some others), Brandon Ebel (couldn't find a picture of him), and whoever discovered and commercialized the fascinating properties of guarana seeds.
I like all kinds of stuff. Current favorites: Showbread, The Sleeping, Soapbox, Muse, Ninety Pound Wuss, Mika, Say Anything, MxPx, My Chemical Romance, Family Force 5, Hot Hot Heat, KYO, The Ramones, Emery, OK Go, 30 Seconds To Mars, Anberlin, Finch, Roper, Relient K, Alkaline Trio, Green Day, Thousand Foot Krutch, Audio Adrenaline, The Living End, The Presidents Of The United States Of America, Skillet, Calibretto 13, Dead Poetic, Ghoti Hook, The Lashes, Hangnail, The Unseen, The Used, Senses Fail, As I Lay Dying, Flogging Molly, and System Of A Down.
