Ben Curtis's Interests
General
The World, Traveling, Politics, The Outdoors, Acting, Art, Music, PeoPle, Abnormal Psychology, Criminal "Justice", Spreading Love, Speaking Your Mind, and Religion.
Music
My new, awe-inspiring band of brothers: WHALE (myspace.com/thewhaleband), Psycho Cowboy (www.myspace.com/thepsychocowboy), Bankrupt & The Borrowers, and everything else under the sun from Black Gospel to Death Metal. My two favorite bands have to be Led Zepplin & The Band. As a child I was obsessed with Michael Jackson (ironic. i think so. although part of it was that i started teaching myself to breakdance at the age of 4), Led Zepplin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and The Black Crowes. Tool is pretty sweet too.
