Skiing, scuba diving, horseback riding,hiking, rock climbing, surfing, cooking, traveling and good times with friends and strangers.
Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, The Dalai Lama, Bono, Ghandi,and anyone else who has actually made a difference in this %$&*ed-up world we live in.
I pretty much span the gamut- everything EXCEPT Polish polkas and hard-core rap (too demeaning). I used to be Label Manager for A&M Records in Paris, France in the 80's, and had the pleasure of working with such great bands as The Neville Brothers, David Crosby, Suzanne Vega, Soundgarden,Sting, Janet Jackson, Supertramp, The Feelies, Tuck & Patty,Iggy Pop, Jason & The Scorchers, Sam Brown, Soul Asylum, Del Amitri, The Graces and many many more
The Party, Sophie's Choice, Braveheart, Gladiator, Woodstock, GroundHog Day, The Wedding Crashers- any GOOD comedy and any REALISTIC historical movie
Don't really like TV too much, but I kind of dig the original reality shows like Survivor, American Idol, The Amazing Race (although believe me, I know they are all mainly scripted)- and pretty much anything on Discover, TLC, The History Channel and OPB. I like the Iron Chef shows too.
All autobiographies, The Tipping Point, Shadow Divers,Tibetan Book of the Dead, The Light Bearer and others
