Music
I have my own radio show THE LOCAL LOWDOWN (WRYR 97.5FM) which you can hear LIVE EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT AT 9PM ET on www.wryr.org Internet stream...listen and you'll know I'm telling you the truth when I say...ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!
24 ON FOX TOPS THE LIST, AMERICAN CHOPPER, MIAMI AND LA INK, THE LATE NIGHT SHOWS HAVE COOL BANDS, THE OFFICE, AND THAT'S PROBABLY MORE THAN I SHOULD BE WASTING MY TIME ON...BUT HEY...GOTTA RELAX SOMETIME, RIGHT?
Books
I like books about music and bands. I guess Rolling Stone, Spin and Blender aren't books. I liked Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton...that's a book! I have also been reading some James Rollins and Clive Cussler...The Odyssey by Homer
Heroes
World Explorers, Bank Robbers and PIRATES...CUZ THEY'RE KINDA LIKE THE BANK ROBBER EXPLORERS OF THE HIGH SEAS, RIGHT?
