'Ziggy Stardust' defined an entire generation... and who knows how many in future generations will be enchanted by David Bowie's personification of all that is both creative and alien in the artist?
This website contains links to as many of my favourite groups and songs as I could find on the internet. Although I listen to as much 'classical music', I have not attempted to find clips of favourite operas, sonatas or symphonies yet. This page represents my past and present, fueled by nostalgia and emotions that never quite die.
Sad to say, if my mother saw this webpage, she would hate it as much as she always hated any popular music that ever struck a chord in me. She never understood that songs about suicide often help an individual climb out of that dark abyss, and that music that deals with alienation often prompts a wry laugh at oneself. Music is a mirror of our humanity, both dark and light. If we try to suppress the darkness, we may find ourselves drowning in it one fine day...
I currently write game guides that are published on IGN. I have written one Harvest Moon guide for BradyGames. I read the following: mythology, philosophy, history, historical novels, fantasy/science fiction, murder mysteries (no political thrillers, please!) and some political analysis. I am working on a book that deals with comparative mythology and symbolism and covers NEW ground (or rather recovers lost ground) if possible.
