Music, the BUSINESS of music, Production, Recording, Poetry, LITERATURE!! (I could live alone with my books), the Unseen Forces of the Universe... I have tried to study metaphysics and spirituality as much as possible, but always seem to get weighted down by the mundane.

Movies
"Heathers", "Blue Velvet", "Easy Rider", "Viva Las Vegas", "Little Shop of Horrors", stupid juvenile comedies, campy horror, all "Star Wars" and the better "Star Trek" movies...all sci-fi really...
Television

Books
Just finished ANNA KARENINA by Tolstoy. WOW. Suddenly, I understand my own life and position in society. STEPPENWOLF is a very psychedelic book. "Rock Guitar for Dummies", "The Tao of Willie", "The Art of Pilgrimage: The Seekers Guide to Making Travel Sacred", "The Art of Happiness", "Zen for Americans," "The Tao of Pooh," "Energy Ecstasy and Your Seven Vital Chakras," "Siddartha." Plus everything by Ursula LeGuin and Joseph Campbell.
