About Me

I'm just your average Visionary Absurdist, Low Blue Space Funk guitarist, and pseudo-intellectual. My favorite axe is a Fender Telecaster that I traded four paintings for. I play with my sporadic blazz band, the Blue Rhythm Diplomats, and have been working on some solo recording projects. // My creative output alternates between music, art, writing, and staring slack-jawed off into space. I draw with pencils, colored pencils, conte crayons and charcoal, and paint in watercolor and acrylic. I mostly do abstract, portrait, or figurative work, with the occasional landscape or still life thrown in for good measure. // I do other stuff too. I eat. I throw things. I hang with my bud, Mr. Computer. I work. I drive my wife and kids crazy (or is it the other way around?) I take pictures. I drive around a lot in my Night Rider. I try to fix things around the house, but I'm not very good at it. Oh, I guess I can do whatever I put my mind to, but thinkin' hurts. Usually I just take the path of least resistance. // Politically, I'm not an ideologue or dogmatist; I cherry-pick from whatever handy ideology fits a given scenario. My friends span the religio-political spectrum, though I am not religious myself. I tolerate diverse viewpoints, but am intolerant of people who assume I will donate my time/energy/art to the advancement of their particular ideology. In any situation where the two are in conflict, art trumps politics.

My Interests

art, photography, science, music, zen driving, telekinesis, brain surgery. Not a big sports fan except when the Detroit Tigers are playing good, every twenty years or so.

I'd like to meet:

Leonardo DaVinci, Jimi Hendrix, Joan of Arc, Jello Biafra. Simultaneously.

Music:

Pink Floyd, Beatles, X, REM, the Clash, Doors, Grateful Dead, Peter Gabriel, Tom Waits, B.B. King, Charlie Musselwhite, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny Winter, Robert Cray, Larry Coryell, Todd Rundgren, Frank Zappa, Al DiMeola, Weather Report, Strunz&Farah, Bill Kirchen, most jazz, blues, bluegrass, classical, avant garde, new age, world music, roots music, funk, motown, rockabilly, rock and punk. I don't care for rap/hip-hop (because it's STUPID), modern country (if it's not twangy redneck music, it's not country), opera (the vocal style is like fingernails on blackboard to me), or most pop music.

Movies:

Blade Runner, The Big Lebowski, O, Brother, Where Art Thou, The Blues Brothers, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Repo Man, THX1138, Memento, Lord of the Rings, Wizard of Oz, It's a Wonderful Life, Dumbo, Psycho, North by Northwest, Rear Window, Vertigo, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, To Kill A Mockingbird, Young Frankenstein, Brazil, Twelve Monkeys, Being There, Network, Crumb, Apocalypse Now, Dr. Strangelove, 2001, A Clockwork Orange, Office Space, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Sixth Sense, The Shining, A Scanner Darkly, Mulholland Drive.

Television:

I only watch one network show: Lost. I recognize that it's crap, but I'm addicted. Past favorites: Twin Peaks, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Kids in the Hall, Star Trek, the Munsters. I'd probably watch Discovery Channel, History Channel, AMC and SciFi Channel if I had cable, which I don't, because then I'd have to sit and watch enough TV to justify the expense.

Books:

The Electric Koolaid Acid Test, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Cat in the Hat, Lord of the Rings, Isaac's Storm, Greener Than You Think, IBM and the Holocaust, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, The Man in the High Castle, Martian Time-Slip, Dr. Bloodmoney, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Ubik, Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, A Scanner Darkly, VALIS, (pretty much anything by Philip K. Dick), Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five, Breakfast of Champions, (most stuff by Kurt Vonnegut), Lathe of Heaven, The Left Hand of Darkness (and most other stuff by Ursula K. LeGuin), The Handmaid's Tale (and other works by Margaret Atwood), the collected works of Bill Bryson, and a lot of mediocre science fiction.

Heroes:

Frodo
