MUSIC (big post!)
My favorite type of music is punk rock. I love these bands:
Propagandhi
NOFX
Lagwagon
Bad Religion
The Muffs
Guttermouth
Good Riddance
Anti-Flag
AFI (pre-"Sing The Sorrow")
Anti-Flag (earlier stuff)
Offspring (first 3 albums are great)
I also like a lot of metal, prog rock, thrash, cross-over, hardcore, jazz, classical, synthwave, and darkwave. I've seen Billy Joel 9 times in concert, Dream Theater 6 times. My first Billy Joel concert was in 1989. I show my age but I like how I wear it.
