I missed him by a day!), Tavis Smiley, Dr. Cornel West, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Quentin Tarantino, George Lucas, John Williams, Leonard Peltier, Howard Zinn, Mumia Abu Jamal, Damian Marley, and YOU!

Movies:

Ah, man. Movies are my life. Let's throw the Star Wars films up there first, since they were what got me into movies more than anything else. And the Disney films. Anything Steven Spielberg's done. All of Kevin Smith's movies. Most of Coppola and Scorsese's films, especially Apocalypse Now, The Godfather films, GoodFellas, Casino, and Raging Bull. And I have a passion for classic films, documentaries, and lesser known films, both studio-made and independent. I've never done acid, but I wonder what dropping acid and watching a Danny Kaye movie is like. Why I said that, I don't know, probably just to make you giggle.
