Stonewall College

I am starting a college, with my terrific friends Tim Krabill and Cleve Jones. This is place where all students will have one less thing to worry about.
On the whole, I fill my life with things and events that make me laugh and or give me a sense of accomplishment. I love to create fun times. I am trying to be more like Al Franken. I love to golf, play handball, love my dogs, love restoring my 101 year old home, I love my grandmas, and love having more fun than most people.
Journey, Any Way You Want It, live, 1981. Awesome.
..
I'd like to meet:
Hall and / or Oates.
Soul singers that I wasn't fortunate enough to see perform live before something made them not be able to perform live:
Eddie Kendricks
Levi Stubbs
Jackie Wilson
DAVID RUFFIN
Marvin Gaye
Otis Redding
Melvin Franklin
Paul Williams
Shorty Long
James Brown
Music:
Everything Motown, but not the stuff people call Motown that was not actually on the Motown label. Just because it was an oldie doesn't mean it was recorded at Hitsville. Otis Redding while very good, was not motown.
O'Jays, Ohio Players, Weezer, The Beatles, The Pixies, Funk Brothers, P-Funk, Esquire, Ali Woodson, Aretha, Mary Wilson, smokey, Four Tops, Dennis Edwards, Bucci, California Guitar Trio, The Darkness, Mid-West Ska bands especially around 1996, Danny Elfman, Damon Harris, Donny Hathaway, The Supremes, etc.
Movies:
Dr. Strangelove, Dodgeball, Old School, Shawshank, Dumb and Dumber, KingPin, The Wiz, anything with Chevy Chase, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown is my shit (especially the use of Bobby Womack), National Lampoon's Vacations...
Television:
The Strom Thurmond half black daughter celebrity golf tournment. Simpsons, Curb, Arrested Development, Stangers with Candy, UCB, Reno 911, Sopranos, Tigers Games, Police Squad, Golden Girls, CNN, MSNBC, .
Books:
Howard Zinn, Vonnegut, Augusten Burroughs, Al Franken, Judith Jarvis Thompson, Amartya Sen, Einstein, Political Liberalism, Cleve Jones, Motown Books, The Plague, Less Than Zero, Winning, Dry, Rousseau, Foucault, The Ancient Greeks, The End of Poverty, business books, The Vitamin Bible by Earl Mendell, Detroit Picture Books, and books with pictures showing how everyday people look naked. And all kinds of books where people are naked.
The Temptations' Classic Five line up singing the last in a string of hits written by Smokey Robinson before Norman Whitfield took over most of the song writing for the Tempts. Even though this song is one of their most played hits, it only charted 14 on the pop charts when it was released.
Heroes:
Cleve Jones, Al Franken, Berry Gordy, Norman Whitfield, Weezer, Bill Clinton is awesome. Basically, anyone who is creative enough to make me think about what they are doing, unless it is totally heartless, and in that case, I am just interested in why Rush Limbaugh and Jim Bunning are so darn selfish and insecure.
PS, god is very upset with George W Bush.
