Pretty much all of it, as long as it's good. Specifics? That's a long list. Beatles, Hank Williams, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Merle Haggard, Clash, John Coltrane, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Creedence, Patsy Cline, any good recording of "Carmen," the soundtracks to "7th Voyage of Sinbad" or "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" or nearly anything by Ennio Morricone, etc., etc....
Movies
Once Upon a Time in the West, Godfather II, Z, The Wild Bunch, Nothing But a Man, Spirited Away, 2001, Chinatown, The Devils, Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, Hard Day's Night, Iron Giant, High Noon, Field of Dreams, V for Vendetta...
Television
The Prisoner, Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Have Gun, Will Travel, Pee Wee's Playhouse, Harvey Birdman, Battlestar Galactica (so far!)...
Books
I think "California Bloodstock" and "Fup" need to be back in print. The new Joe Lansdale is pretty darn good, too -- it's the one currently cracked open on my nightstand. And don't forget to throw a collection or two of poems by the likes of Gary Snyder, Mary Oliver or Allen Ginsberg into your rucksack this summer...
Heroes
Martin Luther King, John Lennon, Joaquin Murieta, Coyote and Raven, Willie McCovey... though overall, heroes seem harder to come by....
About me: I write the "Danger Boy" time travel books from Candlewick Press (www.dangerboy.com) -- tales of a boy, a girl, and a dinosaur "unstuck in time!"
Three are out, one just came back in paperback, another is finished, for next year, and a fifth is on the way...
Hi Mark! Thanks for the friendship! Good luck with "City of Ruins." The sequel to my YA series, "Amigas and School Scandals," just debuted. I hope you'll check it out!
Just receieved the new cover for A Demon Awaits the other day. I passed it to a few friends and everyone loved it. Just a few changes to make and it'll be ready.
