Music:I was a music critic for more than 20 years (see www.popstops.net ) and so I like a variety of bands. My longtime favorites, however, are The Cure, New Order, Tori Amos, Tanya Donelly, Delerium, Green Day and many more. I also have written music and played with a few bands over the years. I've posted an instrumental song I wrote for Martin Mundt's stage play "The Jackie Sexknife Show" as the background music for this page.For Info On My Books, Art & Music, Visit www.johneverson.com |
