Live music, baseball, open roads, soaking up the scene in Austin while holding on to the title of "The Buffalo Man," being an Austin tour guide, talking about cell phones and the weather as little as possible.
Cool new people, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Jim James, Levon Helm, Mike Veeck, Bill Murray, Jimmy Carter, Conan O'Brien, Matt Groening, Adam Sandler, Noam Chomsky, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Leonard Peltier, more Irish cousins, my match, and anyone else who's open-minded.
Favorite all-time: the Band Favorite current: My Morning Jacket Everyone in the world should know and love Jony James - jonyjamesband.com or myspace.com/jonyjamesband. Anything that's original and compelling, whether it's cool like Miles Davis, hot like Robert Randolph & the Family Band, or both like My Morning Jacket. The bottom rows of my top friends are some of the Austin artists I'm diggin these days.
Favorite all-time: Billy Madison Most recent: Evan Almighty - Flop City. What a terrible script. I like laughs of almost all levels - not too smart, not too stupid - heavy stories containing things that make you go "hmm," and don't get into horror flicks.
Austin City Limits, Conan O'Brien, Letterman, Simpsons, Seinfeld, Jeopardy, Daily Show & Colbert Report, ESPN, cool nature stuff, the audition rounds of American Idol.
Currently reading: "The Facts of Life and Other Dirty Jokes," Willie Nelson. Favorite all-time: "On the Road," Jack Kerouac.
My parents, Cy Williams, Mark Grace, Jony James, Willie Nelson, Jay Miller.
