Favorite Music

I fall into the "classic rock" category, unfortunately, although I tend to like the more bizarre stuff like Zappa or early King Crimson. Floyd's always good. I also like lots of jazz (Miles, 'Trane and the like) and punk rock. I'm not opposed to classic country or bluegrass either., More often than not, you'll catch me listening to old blues or soul. Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, so on and so forth., Leadbelly kicks ass. Sly and the Family Stone was one of the greatest bands of all time.

Favorite Books

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence, Be Here Now, various biographies of Saints, painters and rock stars, Tao te Ching

Favorite Movies

Blues Brothers, Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn, Night of the Living Dead, Dead Alive, Nosferatu, Plan 9 From Outer Space, Duck Soup, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
