About Me |
|
| I am an antiquarian book dealer and struggling writer. I'm not trying to amass thousands of friends but I'm pretty inclusive. Mostly what you're going to find in my friends lists beyond "real" friends are writers, artists, scientists and political and philosophical activists. If it's a music "friend" then you can count on my actually liking that music. So, yes, there is room in my head for Rob Zombie and Billy Bragg and Stan Rogers and Rasputina. Go figure.Free MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider You are now marked on my visitor map! Create your own visitor map! |
