Drift

General

Antique bottles and marbles and digging them up, numismatics, metal detecting, native artifacts, creek walking, hiking, history, cats, film, acting, homesteading, farming, socialism, anomalous phenomena, religion, music, sex, comedy, and making things and going places.

Music

I've seen Bob Dylan six times and I hope to multiply that number after covid.

Some of the best I've seen live: Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, Chance the Rapper, Cheap Trick, Sheryl Crow, Ani DiFranco, Steve Earle, David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Explosions in the Sky, Heart, Haley Heynderickx, Jason Isbell, Joan Jett, Lukas Nelson, Willie Nelson, Particle Kid, Margo Price, John Prine, Amanda Shires, Sleater-Kinney, Mavis Staples, Waxahatchee, Wilco, Lucinda Williams, and many I can't remember right now. I miss live music so much.

I also have been competent at guitar, bass, banjo, ukulele, harmonica, and the didgeridoo, but currently just have an acoustic. I used to have 20000 records and currently have just a few dozen.

Some other artists I love: AC/DC (primarily Bon Scott years), Louis Armstrong, Black Sabbath, Captain Beefheart, The Carter Family, Guy Clark, Leonard Cohen, Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Wanda Jackson, Waylon Jennings, Robert Johnson, George Jones, Janis Joplin, Junglepussy, Bettye LaVette, Lydia Loveless, Loretta Lynn, Joni Mitchell, Mickey Newbury, Charley Patton, Tom Petty, Elvis Presley, Jimmie Rodgers, Rolling Stones, Billie Joe Shaver, Frank Sinatra, Todd Snider, Sun Ra, Chip Taylor, Tom Waits, Jerry Jeff Walker, Hank Williams Sr.

Movies

I started watching The Criterion Collection in December 2020. My favorite so far that I hadn't already seen is Opening Night. My favorite movie that I've been in is Trail of Blood on the Trail, where I played Stoner #1. My second favorite is Missing 411, where I was Camp Counselor #3.

Television

I've been on local television a bunch of times as a stand-up comedian, bottle digger, detasseler of corn, and a frequent visitor of Pekin.

Books

History, especially local. Field/nature guides. Homesteading and DYI stuff. Classic lit and poetry. Specialized collector's guides, especially for antique bottles. Science fiction and fantasy. Biographies. Music. Mycology. UFOs. Sasquatch. Religion and spirituality. Remote viewing and astral projection. Sex.

Heroes

I don't have a hero but Bernie would have won both times and we'd be doing so much better right now. Just saying.
