I'd like to meet:
creative people of all persuasions. thinkers. do-ers. open-minded people. bold loudmouths with something to say. meek geniuses who whisper the truth. iconoclasts. people who have a firm grip on reality. people who are out to fucking lunch. thug poets. excommunicated ex-prep schoolers. if you're on the side of regular people I don't give a fuck where you come from, but I care very much about where you're at and I like you a lot.
Music:
minutemen, PE, old COC, Accused, thelonious monk, eric dolphy, billie holliday, old metallica, the coup, dead prez, charles mingus, ozomatli, millions of dead cops, uwharria, nina simone, I listen to the crooners station WIST 98.3 and sing along with Bobby Darin doing Mack the Knife which is a song by a communist so act like ya know. I like shit that's real because it's real and shit that's fluffy because fuck it, you gotta dance too.
Updated music list, 12/18/05--shit I've been turned on to recently, and bands I'm adding b/c I remembered how much they rule:
M.I.A., Dead Kennedys, Immortal Technique, s.t.r.e.e.t.s., Strike Anywhere, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, Velvet Underground, the Specials, Bob Dylan, Outernational, Dark Meat, Al Green, Bill Withers, Luther Vandross, tons of 70's soul, Astrud Gilberto, Chet Baker, Hendrix, Judas Priest, DRI, Sabbath, and the fucking Clash for REAL.
Plus WIST 98.3 FM has gone "classic country" now, but that's OK, I can still sing along b/c I grew up listening to that stuff on my step-dad's transistor radio in the kitchen.
