I'd like to meet:
"Modern Western Art" musicians. Or Bach. Beethoven. Paul McCartney. Jesus- in person.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
Music:
Above all classical is my first and greatest love. It's what I grew up with and what I enjoy writing the most. However, I do play in a band and love rock with a passion. Most popular bands don't do it for me, but for classic rock I'm into Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, the Beatles, Zeppelin and Steve Miller. For more modern bands I like Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and the Flaming Lips. Unfortunately however, many true musicians out there are not getting their due.
Movies:
UK (C4) Documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle
According to a group of scientists brought together by documentary-maker Martin Durkin, if the planet is heating up, it isn't your fault and there's nothing you can do about it.We've almost begun to take it for granted that climate change is a man-made phenomenon. But just as the environmental lobby think they've got our attention, a group of naysayers have emerged to slay the whole premise of global warming. How can you not love movies? The only ones I don't like are the teeny bopper flicks. Other than that, I'll go for action, sci-fi, comedy, historical, drama and foreign.
Television:
My favorite shows are on the History Channel, because I love history. Once in a while I'll venture out into the Food Network, Travel Channel or the Sci-Fi world a little bit or catch the news, but normally I don't like to watch TV. I prefer being outside or hanging out with real people.
Books:
They don't call them classics for nothing. My favs are The Once and Future King, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Maltese Falcon, The Lord of the Rings (read as a kid and love the movies too), Catch 22, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, War of the Worlds, 1984 and countless others.
Heroes:
Jesus.My dad. He knows everything, and I'm finally old enough to recognize his wisdom.My mom. She's very spunky and extremely loving (almost to the point it hurts, but that's what moms are for right?)My Grandpa Youngs. He was 93 years old and still working in his yard gardening, still driving, going dancing, and going on dates all the time with one of "the girls." He was a stud.My brother. He's one of the best songwriters and all-around great musicians out there. And he's crazy in the best sense of the word.
