I'm a big Stones fan. Have been since junior high. I listen to alot of stuff I guess I'll just ramble off some artists, Tom Waits, the Who, Rocket from the Crypt, Ray Charles, Nina Simone, Johnny Cash, AC/DC, Sinatra, Phil Spector, Bob Marley, Zen Guerilla, The Pixies, I can go on and on. I know alot of people ramble off 40 lines of bands and artists they like, my friends included. I'm not going through that much trouble. You're just gonna have to trust me when I tell you I'm friggin fascinating. For an example of how fucking fascinating I am, I hate Journey!! They ba-low! However I love when cheesy cover bands play Journey songs! I mean really love it! If there's anything more absurd about that shitty non-rock it's watching people pay tribute to it. It's fantastic!!
Godfathers 1 and 2, Unforgiven, Ray, Ed Wood and Duck Soup
Deadwood, The Sopranos, The Simpsons, and The Eagles. Thats really all the T.V I truly require.
Books, huh? alright. I like short stories by Bukowski. Kurt Vonnegut has yet to let me down. Sammy Davis Jr. wrote a great autobiography called "Why me?". Johnny Cash wrote one called "Cash". Reading it was like having Johnny sitting around telling you stories. When I finished the book I was sorry to see him leave. I gave the book to my friend Nadine when she moved to Japan. I thought Johnny would be good company for her. "A prayer for Owen Meany"'s pretty high on the favorite book list too.

My parents. Marv and Helene. I mean there are rock stars like Keith Richards, teachers like Raul Middleman, artists like Thomas Eakins. But then there's my folks. Enough said. Heres a picture of us circa 1972 or 73, check out how cool my dad is, he's like a cross between Steve McQueen and Frank Sinatra! _____________________________
