The Shit (as in my favorites)

THE RAMONES
AMAZING, ALWAYS. From start to finish. They always delivered, always. They stand alone. No one comes close, they never have & no one ever will. They (still) are the best ever. & I will fight anyone that says different. Fun, loud, edgy & dangerous, infectious & essential. They are HEAVENS house band. They started punk rock. They were pure rock 'n' roll but they are the true originators of what is punk rock. QUEENS, NEW YORK baby, the birthplace. England? Bullshit baby. USA, USA, USA.

ALICE COOPER (not TRASH but every other album)
Comical, dark, great. He's got an under appreciated voice. He can rock & he knows his way around a ballad. & you don't feel like a wuss for like his ballads either. He is a complete entertainer. If you see him perform live, you will be entertained. No doubt about it.

DWARVES
Oh. You don't know? Do yourself a favor & listen to The Dwarves Are Young & Good Looking. Some says Blood Guts & Pussy is their best, but they're wrong. It's definitely where there sound came together but in reality it's truly lacking compared to many of their other releases.

THE WARRIORS
An amazing movie. The bathroom fight scene is perfect, you couldn't ask for a more perfectly choreographed fight (No disrespect to THEY LIVE's alley fight scene, a very close second).
It's my "I need to be happy" go to movie. Can you dig it?

HAROLD & MAUDE
Ruth Gordon. Bud Cort. You gotta see it, I can talk about it but no matter what I say, I'll never be able to do it justice. You gotta see it to understand.

THE JERK
Sure CADDYSHACK is great but how could it not be with that cast? It's a no brainer. Everyone in it was at the top of their game. There was no way it could suk. HOWEVER, THE JERK is just STEVE MARTIN, being amazing, all by himself. I mean no disrespect to everyone else who appeared in the movie but almost every character could have been played by almost anyone else & it would still have been AMAZING. Only exception, Bernadette Peters, she owned her role. I was born a poor black child & boom goes the vaginamite. As we all know dynamite is cool, it blows shit up, but vagina...Well that is heaven on earth. Vaginamite, that blows my mind. I love the vadge. Close second....boobies. Ahhh, boobies.

AMERICAN PSYCHO by Bret Easton Ellis
I've already spoken about this so go read an earlier blog of mine.

JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL by Richard Bach
So simple & childlike on the surface but so deep & life affirming on every other level. If you miss the message, you're honestly a complete moron.

THE TURNER DIARIES by Andrew Macdonald (William Luther Pierce)
Is it a hate novel? I don't really believe so, it's a work of fiction. Is it a call to arms? Maybe to the easily influenced. I feel it's more of a cautionary tale of what could happen when one side gets pushed too far & reaches their breaking point. It's full of action based in an alternate reality. If the revolutionaries were Black or Mexican instead of Caucasians this would be required reading in school, I'm sure of it. How some can get away with a statement such as "By Any Means Necessary" which advocates violence if need be & that's apparently acceptable but this novel is vilified & used as a scapegoat for some people's actions is completely hypocritical. Power of suggestion doesn't make people do bad shit. People's bad decisions make them do bad shit. To think that many bookstores won't carry this book is an affront to the 2nd amendment. It's kept in the back or under the counter at most used bookstores. If you order it online, you're now on a list. Trust that statement. It's just a fukkin story people. Grow the fuk up.

This is not a complete list. It's a start. Too be continued. Maybe.
