A lot of New Orleans-type of music. Also, a lot of singer-songwriter stuff and a lot of rock stuff … prog rock. Now, I watch a lot of the History Channel when they have something good on. Also, I watch a lot of movie channels like HBO and Showtime … “Game of Thrones” and “Shameless.” I like the more cinematic-style shows. A lot of non-fiction and biography, as well as a lot of business books and what’s going on in the industry in general. Right now, I’m reading “Positioning: The Battle For Your Mind” by Al Reis and Jack Trout. The last movies I saw were “Night at the Museum 3” and “Annie.” I took my 5-year-old to the movies, so that’s what I saw. It’s hard to look at music as a hobby (being the drummer for OWL), but playing music and working in the (recording) studio. Also, I work out a lot, and I do a lot of handyman work at the house. One would be my father because he died when I was at a very young age … I just never had those man-to-man, adult conversations with him. And another would be John Bonham. I’d love to hear him tell stories … about what he went through (as the drummer for Led Zeppelin) in the music industry. It would be on a trek through Italy. It would be a long trek, going from city to city. I’d also like to spend some time in Ireland, again going from city to city. A good steak, fresh green vegetables and a good glass of scotch. The birth of my children.
