Music, journalism, my grandchildren, animal rescue, Casper memorabilia (yes, the ghost!)
Music
I like every kind of music. I grew up listening to a lot of British progressive rock like Yes, Pink Floyd, ELP, Jethro Tull and the like, and I am also really into the American pop-prog bands like Kansas and Styx. I also really like acoustic-based singer/songwriter stuff like Simon and Garfunkel, CSNY, Dan Fogelberg, John Mayer and such. I LOVED the Maroon 5 record. I live in Nashville, so of course I have grown to appreciate country as well, though I grew up HATING it! Now, as a writer myself, I appreciate that it is an art form all its own, to write so concisely in such a limited format.
I really like all kinds of music as long as it doesn't suck.
Movies
My new fave is a 911 documentary called 'Loose Change', which talks about how our own government may have staged 911 to seize inappropriate power in America and worldwide.
I am really into some classic Bing Crosby films, especially 'Holiday Inn'. Also rock films like 'This Is Spinal Tap' and 'Almost Famous'. 'The Shawshank Redemption' is one of the great films off all time in my opinion. Also some light comedies.
Television
House, Boston Legal, Lost, Alias, Prison Break, Jericho, Damages, Traveler . . . as well as lots of PBS and Animal Planet.
Books
I read a lot of classic literature, from Dickens to Dostoevsky, as well as some thrillers(Greg Iles is a genius) and a lot of biographies ( I also write non-fiction).
Heroes
My career in music journalism has brought me into contact with many of the "heroes" I had as a child . . . members of Yes, Jethro Tull, Kansas, Styx, and so on and on and on. It's been quite eye-opening. I no longer believe in "heroes", per se.
Wanna know a secret? All of the people that you place on a pedestal as "heroes" are just as flawed, just as messed up as you are. All you're doing is projecting your own needs onto them, with no way of knowing what they're really like deep down and therefore no way of being disappointed. If you met them and interacted with them in any meaningful way, you'd quickly realize that they are merely your fellow idiots.
About me: I am a Nashville-based singer/songwriter and music journalist. I play in an acoustic rock duo called Beggarz Opera.
In 2003 I published my first book, entitled 'Unsung Heroes of Rock Guitar'. In March of 2007 I published my second book, a biography of the rock group Styx entitled 'The Grand Delusion'(www.thegranddelusion.com).
