Nobody asked to be born. Did you ask to be born? I know I didn't. It just sort of happened. And now we have to deal with the consequences.

Duf Davis's Interests
General
The paintings in the slideshow (and in the pics) are by me.
And I also did the subtitles in the Hitler video.
Music
The top Rock groups of all time are The Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys, Kinks, Led Zep, The Who, and The Move. The pantheon of rock & roll also includes Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and David Bowie. There's been a ton of groups since the mid seventies who have made valuable contributions but honestly, they do not have the level of greatness that these artists do.
And let me quickly say the Ravel was a bigger genius than any of the rock groups listed above.
And that Duke Ellington in 1927-28 was on a very high plane.
And that the world of music is unfathomably wide, that there is no end to the music waiting to be discovered.
Movies
Meet John Doe: for years I caught only the ending and assumed that it was maudlin, but thankfully I finally lucked into watching it from the beginning and WOW it is a knockout top tier movie and it's severely underated. It's really an incredible political film that doesn't sugarcoat the decrapitude of the unwashed masses, while at the same time the real power in society is depicted as belonging to an elite plutocracy - analogy to today, anyone? Frank Capra made it in the 1930's, it has a great ensemble cast and stars Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper, and has classic cinematography.
Television
The Martin & Lewis Colgate Comedy Hour, Jeopardy, Forensic Files, Pardon The Interuption, The Sarah Silverman Show, Lost In Space, The Munsters
Books
The Origin Of Consciousness In the Breakdown Of The Bicameral Mind (Julian Jaynes)
