1. books:
   i'd say the best book i ever read was "the great thoughts" by george seldes. it wasn't a book per se more of repository of wisdom culled from books from the greeks onward it also contained a lot of eastern thought as well. through this book i dicovered how much i really admired voltaire,george bernard shaw,oscar wilde,and friedrich nietzche among many others.
2. dougie maclean:
   I was living in london during the lockerbie bombing back in 1988. the had a benefit concert on the bbc and dougie maclean sang 'this love will carry me' it was one of the most b eautiful and uplifting songs i had ever heard. ever since then i have been a huge fan. i am at a complete loss to explain why he isn't more popular on this side of the atlantic.
3. elvis:
   the king. elvis could sing anything,country,gospel, rock n roll,longe, you name it. and i am completely hetro (i swear it) but damn, he was a nice looking man.
4. gilbert and sullivan:
   i saw the movie 'topsy turvy' i had heard of g&s before that but had never really listen to thier music, some very clever lyrics through some really interesting musical changes.
5. intelligent conversation:
   maybe because it is such a freaking rarity for me these days.
6. monty python:
   its an amazing thing but a large part of the credit my evolution from a scared rigid thinking church mouse to who i am today could be given to monty phython. besides it is a badge of honour that 'the holy grail' is considered by my parents to be one of the worst movies ever made and i feel the complete oppisite
7. queen:
   yes virginia. you can have intelligent and kick ass rock from the same band. queen was part of the 'big three' of my childhood music interests the other two were elton john and elo and freddy had a range on him that could make robert plant cry.
8. singing:
   i love to sing. it is what i do better than anything else. i sing when i'm alone, when i am happy and when i am sad. music is my most special friend and i will always be grateful for having been given by grace such a tremondous gift
9. swimming:
   i try very hard to swim every day it is great exercise and really clears my head
10. u2:
    i heard the album 'war' back in 1988 and have been hooked since. one of the few artists that i have every album they ever put out.
