Music music and music. I love to go check out local music at bars or clubs. You never know what your going to hear. Sometimes bands sux and sometimes I see a great band and ill buy a cd. I try to go to a local show atleast once a week. I go only to a few national acts but not nearly as much as I use too. I play a little guitar, bass and program drums. But mostly produce and the biz side. I also like to play basketball or baseball, and watch the Twins or the Vikings whoop that ass on tv. I play some video games (mostly Halo). But only like 2 hrs a month if that. Most of my time is devoted to music and learning my kraft.
I would have to pick someone in music or politics: Rick Rubin(co-founder of def-jam records, producer), Sam Phillips(Sun records founder, producer), Mike Patton(Faith No More, Mr Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantomas), Hunter S.Thompson(auther,jurnolist), Michael Moore(a man people hate but I love), Noam Chomsky (Political teacher, makes people parinoid), George Bush(???), Larry Bird(greatest whtie b-baller ever), God, and you.
