This is one of my favorite new bands. They're called Silver Dirt. If you want to learn more about them, just click on their banner. They freakin' rock! (You can also go to my other web site, www.electricpussycat.com and read about them there, plus read an interview I did with their lead vocalist, Silver Steff.)
This is rock and roll! I absolutely love this band. This is The Quireboys performing their song, "Misled". It's been many years since I've seen them live. I wish they'd return to the states, or that I could hop across the pond and see them again.
Another of my favorite bands, The Four Horsemen. Like The Quireboys, this band was very underrated. Sadly they are no longer making music. Their original drummer, Dimwit, passed away on Sept. 27, 1994 of a drug overdose. The band went on, however, with Dimwit's brother on drums. Then front man Frank Starr was hit by a drunk driver while riding his motorcycle down the Sunset Strip in November 1995. He was thrown head-on into a road sign and suffered serious head injuries. He never recover from his coma and passed away more than three years later in a hospice on June 18, 1999. With his passing, the band called it quits. However, they've recently released a DVD anthology and live CD boxset called "Left For Dead". For more info check out www.thefourhorsemen.com. I'm honored that I had the opportunity to see them live.
Last, but not least, I had to include another of my favorites, The Cult. It was hard to pick which video to show. Ian Astbury is the most mesmerizing front man since Jim Morrison. It's fitting that The Doors chose him to front their band when they reunited. I saw The Cult live after their release of "Sonic Temple". I had the flu and was running a fever, but I was not going to miss that show, and I'm glad I went. It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
New bands I like include Silver Dirt, Alley Sin, Sister Hyde, Innocent Rosie, Big Cock, The Casanovas, Airbourne, and Silvertide. But, I also listen to bands that have been around longer, like The Four Horsemen, The Quireboys, Bang Tango, The Cult, etc. I like so many bands that really it would take forever to list! I talk more about this in the About Me area. Maybe when I have nothing better to do I'll come back and list them all! lol
Movies
There are really too many to name, but I like comedies like "Sixteen Candles", The Austin Powers films, "Say It Isn't So", "History of the World, Part 1", "Porky's" and many others. I also like action adventures like the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, the "Jurassic Park" films, etc. I also love movies set in the 17th and 18th centuries, and even further back in time, like "Dangerous Liaisons", "The Three Musketeers", "A Knight's Tale", and more. I like musicals such as "Grease" and "Moulin Rouge". And, I love a few dramas such as "Forrest Gump", "American Graffiti" and "Titanic". I love most any sci-fi, like the "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" films, as well "Independence Day", "Logan's Run", and too many others to name. I love all of M. Night Shyamalan's films, and also films by David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino. There are many, many others, too many to list here.
Television
Two and a Half Men, Ugly Betty, Testees, Worst Week, and reruns of MASH, Star Trek (Voyager, DS9, TNG), Wings, Will & Grace, Cheers, Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, and Seinfeld. I like to watch a lot of comedies to keep my spirits up.
Books
James Rollins is my favorite right now. I also like Dean Koontz, Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, Stephen King, Clive Cussler, and many others. I like archealogical adventures, novels that involve mysteries of the past, and apocalyptic stories, among others. (R.I.P. Michael Crichton)
Heroes
Jesus Christ, Mother Teresa, and anyone else who is selfless, ungreedy, and gives of themselves to help and serve others.
I'm a single mom, a webzine owner/editor-in-chief, and an artist. I work in various media, but primarily acrylics and hemp art. I recently started my own web sites: to showcase my hemp artwork, and Make your own banner at MyBannerMaker.com!
because I love glam and sleaze rock 'n' roll and since it's making a comeback, with a lot of talented new bands performing that style and the older bands reuniting, I thought I'd do my part to bring attention to this growing genre of music. The first web site is named Hippiepad because I often wear patchouli and my friend's ex-boyfriend always used to say I smelled like a hippie pad. But I also named it that because all of us who have lived during and after the hippie era, especially us rockers, can't help but to have been influenced by those crazy times, and my products appeal to that little bit of hippie in all of us. This MySpace page is an extension of the Hippiepad web site, in addition to being my personal page. (To go to my other MySpace page and learn more about my webzine, Electric Pussycat, just click on the above banner) Here are just a few examples of what you'll find at Hippiepad.com:
In my spare time, what little I have, I like to paint (acrylics), do Sudoku, crosswords, or cryptograms. I also love to read. And, one of my favorite pasttimes is to go to www.interactrivia.com and play live trivia games against people all over the world. The games are like the ones you can play in a lot of bars, but with the added fun of chatting with the people you're playing against. If you like trivia, you should check it out. My user name there is TawnyAZ, so if you go there say hi.
I love a wide variety of rock music, from Fleetwood Mac, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin, to Guns 'N' Roses, LA Guns, Poison, Faster Pussycat, Cinderella, The Black Crowes, Skid Row, The Lynch Mob, and Bang Tango, to The Cult, The Four Horsemen, The Quireboys, White Zombie & Rob Zombie, Rage Against The Machine, and Alice In Chains, to Silvertide, Airbourne, The Casanovas, Silver Dirt, Big Cock, Sister Hyde, Innocent Rosie, plus many, many more spanning from the 60's to today (really, too many to list here). R.I.P. MIKE. YOU'LL BE MISSED.
Who I'd like to meet: Like-minded people (rockers, artists, and intellectuals).
