Album Rating

Rolling Stone's 145th greatest album of all time

The third consecutive album that would be in my dad's all time top 10 (sadly this streak is broken when we move on to NWA, which is in my mum's top 10). And reputedly *the* album that was used to test new hi-fi equipment back in the day. It is a really good consistent middle of the road rock album.

Movie Favorite Watch

"You couldn’t get away with making that movie today. It’s wild. It’s a wild film, and it’s the great American dream gone wrong. It’s Citizen Kane on its ass. It’s a man who comes from nothing and builds a world and loses an empire and finds love. I mean, it’s a huge movie; and absolutely insane. I watch that several times a year — it’s a go-to on the road."

Book Favorite

"Cyberpunk’s “On the Road,” a “consensual hallucination” of a revolutionary vision of the future. This was my introduction to William Gibson’s work, which then led me to “Johnny Mnemonic.” (As a fan of his, I contacted Gibson because I wanted to make the film “Johnny Mnemonic.”[Ed. note: Longo directed the film.]) Books are like dreams. I was eager to see what a universe like this could look like."
