Politics, comic books, 70s toys, 70s TV, Rockford Files, Sanford and Son and penetrating the veil of crap and spin that has defined our media age and conspired to make people into morons. With great success.
I have pretty much met everyone I want to meet, and substantially more people that I had no interest in meeting.Mostly,I would rather not meet the people I want to meet, because 9 times out of 10 they turn out to be complete assholes and ruin my respect for them.Out of the people I have met recently who impressed me: Stan Lee, always a hero of mine. Me and Liana went to his office to pitch him my comic book ideas. It was on the show (in Canada - other parts of the world will see it eventually). This was the second time we shot a segment with him, but he is always a stand-out personality and a decent human being. Rare.Also spoke to Tori Spelling at the Muchmusic Video Awards (again, on TV in Canada, the rest of you will see it someday soon). I expected her to be a daddy's-girl ditz, but she was smart, funny, self-aware...really impressive. Her husband wasn't a bad guy either, for a guy who wears a white jacket to an awards show.Also spoke to the Backstreet Boys, a group I spent years deriding for their sappy, formulaic teengirl-targetted tripe. And they were filthy, talking about grey pubic hairs and banging legal-age fans. Awesome.Also just did another segment with adult film legend Jesse jane, who's a freidn of me and Liana. Well, mor a friend of Liana. The segment ended with them basically naked on a massage table with Jesse playing Liana's ass like bongo drums. This hasn't aired yet.Also met a cool chick named Caitlin Cronenberg, who's a photographer. She took the best pics of me and Liana, together and individually, that we have ever had. Plus, she's got the right attitude to hang around with me. And Liana let her take topless pictures of her for Caitlin's upcoming photo book. I'm sure you'll hear more about that on Liana's site.Spoke to a bunch of other famous people, but I don't feel like name-dropping more than I already have.
Mostly like 80s tunes, some 90s grunge, metal, Chuck Berry, Bill Halley, Tori Amos (yes, really...she's got more balls than these weepy emo guy bands) and Gogol Bordello. And Liana keeps exposing me to new weird obscure bands in our travels together on planes and in cars.
Loved Nacho Libre - a stupid movie made by very smart people. HATED Superman Returns - a terrible movie made by a weepy hack.
Currently - House, Battlestar Galactica, 24 (last season anyway -- it sucked for a couple of years before that), CSI (the real one, not the one with that mumbling redhead jerk)and Numbers.
Too many to account for. I read 3 or 4 at any given time. Right now I am reading Joe Klein's book about politics, "Rebel Sell" about the myth of counterculture, a Doc Savage novel, a book about the weird elements in the American military, and several comic books.
James Garner, Red Foxx, Superman...maybe one day I'll complete this list. Maybe not. Who really gives a shit anyway?
