    Jay's Interests
MusicA verrrrrry wide range. Anything from folk to funk. Love the Seventies (even some of the disco) have a soft spot for the Eighties (yay Men at Work!!) ignore most of the Nineties and don't listen to much of the current stuff that you hear on the radio. Thank God for XM! Oh, yeah, I also own just about everything Prince has ever recorded. Minneapolis Genius! Support your local music scene!!
MoviesGoing to the movies is one of my favorite things to do in this life. Big fan of science fiction that's done well and makes you think. Not into horror/gore. Some of my favorite flicks: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Pulp Fiction, Star Wars (from the '70's), Waiting for Guffman, O Brother Where Art Thou?, The Player, and a hundred more...
TelevisionSt. Louis Cardinals baseball games, Lost, not much else on network TV. I watch a lot of Bravo, TV Land, and the pop culture stuff on VH1.
BooksEveryone needs to read more! I haven't gotten to a lot of the "classic" literature and must admit I tend to read the stuff that's not considered great. Science fiction is a favorite (the Ender's Game series, Asimov's Foundation series, and Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow and Children of God two-parter) I love a good autobiography, but I'm not into history in general.
HeroesDon't know about heroes. People who die in the cause of justice would certainly qualify.

About me:
I try not to act my age, a behavior which is becoming more and more unseemly. I'm an actor at heart and a musician by profession. On stage, in any case. I love my wife and children. I used to teach high school (or was I hallucinating that?)
Who I'd like to meet:
A lot of dead entertainers - Johnny Carson, Jimmy Stewart, Robert Altman, Harvey Korman, Don Knotts, the entire cast of Match Game '76 and many more.

I think you're confused...that seems to be hair you're gettin', not fat...I'm pretty sure the fat's going into a big pit somewhere. Or into Campbell's soup vats...

Sep 7 2008 3:23 AM

Just a few random thoughts...
A) With all the people in this great nation who are losing weight, where is all that fat actually going?

B) I missed your birthday and I'm sorry from the bottom of my knees for that. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

C) I wonder why Animal never learned to play the washboard...

Thanks for the info. I know my granny had an old washboard but finding it is another thing all together. Snug gloves and thimbles eh? I wonder if there's a way to sew the thimbles on?
I have tons of veggies in my garden. I might bring y'all some more if you want next gig I see ya at.
