Might as well ad Matthew Shepherd to the list as an honorary member...

In short all creative men I never met who could teach me a thing or two about art, sex, love and living...

And never forget:

All that the Republikkkanz did to help the crisis along by not doing anything back in the eighties.

It's a Tom Spanbauer moment la villette style,

The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon - and lived to write about it from his City of Shy Hunters.

Warhol

Divine, Divine, Divine your Female Trouble will rule forever!

My list of hero's is an obituary.

I should have gone to the Begijnhofkerk and lit all the candles this morning.

Walt Whitman unfailingly relevant through time and space to reach more souls with an old American mans compassion.

Oh yeh I was reading in the Flemish newspaper about a Spanish film where all these souls are trying to get into hell which is over-crowded while no one wants into heaven which is empty. At least that is all I could get out of what I read. Sounded hysterical! My kind of film! Hell is for me - wait oh yeh hell is my life along state routes 40 and 23.
