| Favorite Bands / Musician |
Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney/Beatles, Brian Wilson, Brudda Iz, Bob Marley, and about 200 more… I like singer-songwriters and tight harmonies plus killer lyrics.

| Favorite Movies |
Too many to list, but Sci-Fi genre is always a major choice. Any Orson Welles, any Hitchcock, Gilliam, Gondry, Frankenheimer, Scorsese, Spielberg, the typical heavyweights, and I have a warm spot for the creative cheapskate, Roger Corman.
