My Interests

I'd like to meet:

It would be a lot easier to tell you who I wouldn't like to meet; people who have an overinflated sense of self importance. People with no sense of humor. People who think they're right about something. We have a word for these people, right? What do we call them? Starts with an A. That's right! You're so smart!

Music:

70's Punk Rock (The Clash, The Damned, The Vibrators, The Dead Boys, The Ramones), Modern Metal (Fear Factory, Static X, Hostile Groove), Classic Metal (Sabbath, Blue Cheer, Zepp) Goth past and present (Type O Negative, Bauhaus, Midnight Configuration, My Ruin), Country (Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Cash, Junior Brown, Wayne Hancock), Jazz (Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Charles Mingus), Vocal (Nat 'King' Cole, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mercer), 70's Prog (Focus, Brand X, King Crimson).Classical (Mozart, Bach, Ludwig Van), I have over 3000 titles in my collection including CDs LPs MP3s etc. My motto; Today's Top 40 is tomorrow's bad joke.

Movies:

Nosferatu (silent version), The Undertaker And His Pals, Blood Feast, Doctor Gore, Hype, The Wizzard of Gore, Metropolis, M, School Of Rock, A Clockwork Orange, Citizen Kane, Elvira's Haunted Hills, Plan 9 From Outer Space, Old Universal or Hammer Horror films, Roger Corman classics with Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff. There are so few new movies being made that I want to go see. Since I've been in Hollywood I've been in more movies than I've seen.

Television:

I watch cartoons on Fox and Adult Swim on Sunday nights and THAT'S IT! The last good sit-com was Green Acres. You won't catch me watching the final episode of "Friends" with a box of Kleenex. TV sucks.

Books:

Anything by Terry Pratchett, Stephen Hawking (love that theoretical physics), Hunter S. Thompson (RIP), Jack Keroac, Henry Rollins, Lester Bangs, Legs McNeil, autobiographies by any has-beens and a TON of textbooks on music business.

Heroes:

It's very unhealthy to have heroes.

In an instant.

It only takes a moment in time for your life to change irrevocably. It just happens that way and there is really nothing you can do about it. Once it has happened you really have no choice but to thin...
