About Me

Who knows?

My Interests

Challenging melodies, scandalous lyrics, truth among liars. Whew!

I'd like to meet:

Someone who sings unabashedly from their soul.

Music:

Melody, meaning, and innovation = YES? Love it!

Movies:

Anti-cookie-cutter flicks. 'Clerks' comes to mind. Also, The Five People You Meet In Heaven, Twelve Angry Men (original), and The Constant Gardner are exceptionally good films.

Television:

Is BS from the beginning, but Green Acres was the place for me.

Books:

Panati's Book of Beginnings, Panati's Book of Endings, Wade's Book of Middlings
