the city you live in is ugly
Yup, I was born here. At Grace Hospital. Im
told its now a parking lot. I grew up in a
dilapidated gingerbread house on the southeast
edge of town in Champlain Heights. Im just
kidding actually I grew up in
a typical early Seventies
fake Spanish casa style
house complete with authentic
Spanish wood paneling.
Maybe that explains my fashion
sense.

but it wasnt meant to be.

• As a kid, I lived in Germany for a few years, but
  most of my life Ive lived here.

I used to ride to school everyday in buses like
this one, until they got replaced.

• they covered up the bow-mac
  sign, with toys r us

A lot of things in Vancouver have been replaced
since I was young. I dont know if its for the
better I know I sure miss those buses though.

you know Ive seen every movie youve been in

• Ive loved old movies most of my life. Ever
  since my mom brought home a copy of the Marx
  Brothers Monkey Business (1931) from the VPL
  when I was ten or eleven.

and Im also a big fan of silent cinema, the
films of Orson Welles, and the screwball comedies
of the 1930s. Favourite actor Cary Grant.
Favourite actress Shirley MacLaine.
I still love the Marx Brothers,

I want to ride my bicycle

• I ? my bike. Right now I ride a black one-speed
  Schwinn cruiser with coaster (a.k.a. back-pedal)
  brakes. Probably not too different from the one
  Im riding in this picture. Some people never
  grow up, I guess.

What a geek! ?

• On your marks,
• get set, go!

music lover

music is my mistress

• Surprisingly, perhaps, it all began with Corey
  Hart. Not Sunglasses at Night, but Boy in the
  Box. That was the first album I ever bought.
  Then I bought another one, and another one, and,
  well, refer back one slide. Here I am
  proselytising Judas Priest through someones
  window.

- Duke Ellington

Music is my saviour

• This is a picture of my friends Bateater playing
  live. Over the years Ive had the good fortune to
  get to know a lot of great local musicians. If
  they all manage to outlive me, I want them to
  form a band and play Freebird at my funeral.

- Wilco, Sunken Treasure

Oh were gonna have music

• I also like to DJ. Usually just private
  functions, strictly for kicks. Here I am at a
  relatives wedding. Those girls insisted I play
  Black Sabbath all night. Look what happened
  Rosie (far right) and I both got the evil eye. I
  quickly switched to Abba.
