Can’t watch Christian Bale in anything except _American Psycho_. The only strong efforts The Bealtes ever put out were _Wild Honey Pie_ and _You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)_ Don’t like any Peter Jackson stuff except _Bad Taste_. Same with Spielberg, except _Duel_. (ok maybe _Jaws_ and the first half hour of _Saving Private Ryan_) Way more an Indica dude, but one Sativa strain I like is Green Crack. ---

I don’t like most (whatever the genre is), but I do like The Red Clay Ramblers. I have their “Twisted Laurel/Merchants Lunch” CD, and I love several songs on it, particularly “The Ace,” which I’ve played a gazillion times. Strangely, I first heard of them when this disk was featured on my local CLASSICAL radio station. ---
