Big Mack's Interests
|
| General | I love to write songs, record songs, play chess, ski (water and snow), photography, astronomy, and travel.
My main musical influences are Zeppelin (primarily Jimmy Page's "style"), B. B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi, Skynyrd (southern rock in general...) and Mozart. You can see how these influences have molded me by reading my "Music" category (below this one)... | | Music |
Blues are my soul,
Southern Rock is my mouth,
Classic Rock is my face,
Classical Music is my ears,
Gospel is my hair,
Great keyboardists (such as Billy Powell, Elton John, or Rick Wakeman) are my hands.
Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix are my fingers.
Black Sabbath (Dio and Ozzy) are my walking shoes.
Love is my inspiration.
I also listen to Country music when I want to get depressed... | | Movies |
Anything with Tom Hanks, True Lies, Animal House (or any other "dry humor" stuff such as Airplane), John Wayne. | | Television |
Mythbusters
Military channel
NASCAR (Mark Martin fan)
Football (Go Raiders!)
Reality medical shows like the ones that show emergency rooms or strange surgeries. Yeah, I know... GROSS! But it's real... | | Books |
Any real-life crime books. It's amazing how cops can take a small shard of a seemingly meaningless piece of evidence, then connect the dots to break a case wide open and convict a criminal. | | Heroes |
George Washington (Hell of a General and a great leader!)
Jimi Hendrix (A black man who conquered a white man's world at the time, and a virtuoso blues man!)
Winston Churchill (Nerves of steel, and he didn't back down in the face of the Liberal Appeasers that opposed him.) |
