My marriage and my totally great wife, Malissa. My super awesome friends, old and new. Family. Spray Paint. Mystery movies. Murder books. Mexican Murder magazines. Popcorn. V-8. Super 8 shooting.Music
Daniel Higgs once said in an interview I conducted with him that music is really just a bunch of sounds. There are an infinite way of putting sounds together. Since I was young I had a premenition that I would write anthemic, simple songs. I was very moved by Sham 69's "If the Kids are United", U2'S "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "I'm on fire" by Chelsea. I was able to execute this when Andy and I founded Blackwall Hitch and our live shows and the 'Milwaukee Burning' 7" are testament to this. I aint done rockin' yet...so sit tight. I love pop music too: Dion, and the songs my dad (John Winkowski) has always written, Ricky Nelson, and many others. I listen to a lot of avante garde music or "just sounds" like Yoko Ono, Leo Ornstein, early Les Paul, and Dan Higgs. It helps me think straight because it plays on a different, less linear part of my mind. Hardcore punk and Rap? I dig The Bad Brains, HR, Lee Perry, Angelic Upstarts, Sham 69, Chelsea, GBH, Husker Du, Public Enemy, Matisyahu, Ras Michael and The Sons of Negus, MIA, Grand Master Flash, The Speed Freaks, Black FLAG, and on and on. I produced this record for charity six years ago and it's still smokin:
I recorded on three of the tracks here, oversaw the mastering, most of the production, and got all my good homies (Compound Red, Kill Me Tomorrow, Dan Wise, Bobby Schaub, my father, John Winkowski ("the grateful dad"), etc.) on board for this Wisconsin Humane Society Benefit record. The comp featured Wisconsin bands but really what this means to me is people/bands from Wisconsin originally. It's a diaspora comp you could argue. Some people live in Turkey now, some in San Diego, Chicago, etc. We all did a great job here. Buy it and help the animals.

Films by Italian Film-Maker, Franco Zeferelli. He made Romeo and Juliet (circa 1968), Brother Son Sister Moon (based on the life of St. Francis of Assisi, with Donovan providing the score), The Champ ( John Voit), and Jesus of Nazareth. Each one of these films were executed as well as any mortal could direct and construct sets for, as Franco did. And the themes...well they're pretty timeless.Television
