Dan IP: Logged Lon Armstrong Member posted May 31, 2001 05:21 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My wife Helen, and my cats Marge and Spot. My friends on and off the net. Books: wide variety, but I am passionate about the work of authors such as Henry Miller, Philip K. Dick, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, W. Sommersett Maugham and many more. Also books about Gnosticism, early Christianity, mystery religions. Musical reproduction, especially via vacuum tubes. Used to be passionate about making music, but that passion was either killed or died, depending on who is around when I tell the tale. Used to be into motorcycling with a passion, for about one third of my life. Had two Hondas, then a Sportster then a 900 BMW then a 650 BMW. Then my wife entered my life and the motorcycles exited. PRETTY MUCH have them out of my system.

IP: Logged bullmoose Member posted June 01, 2001 10:04 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Like many others I'm think, I was introduced to 60s prime time television long before I saw movies like He Walked by Night (maybe 20 years later). So, I formed indelible impressions of actors such as Jack Webb, Richard Basehart, and Raymond Burr that would be permanently associated with the shows in which they played leading roles. I sometimes think those impressions may have influenced the way I later saw those actors and the very different types of characters they played in earlier movie roles. I know when I saw Basehart in He Walked, I kept trying to resolve the contradiction between the character of the electronics thief and the gentle, almost passive submarine captain in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. It didn't seem possible. Same with Raymond Burr as Perry Mason and as all those sadistic guys he played in the late 40s and early 50s.

Cars --- especially when I get chance to buy something with a nice V8 in it. European cities --- not to take anything away from you Stateside guys, but they are on our doorstep.

Sometimes a bourbon, but it does not compare... my lady, my tenor sax (my alto too, but I LOVE the tenor ) some pets around, too. Italian food, spanish wine, french wine Leffe, Jever, and some other beer, some good swiss beer, too (pity everybody want that s**tty Heinecken instead! That ain't no beer, man! That's pee pee, as another bored member would say...) Reading newspapers (Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Frankfurter Allgemeine, Die Zeit, sometimes Süddeutsche Zeitung, Le Monde, when I'm in the mood for some spanish I grab El País... much too time consuming, I fear, but I can't be without a good newspaper) Coffee ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
