About Me/Us:

I am a novelist, oil painter, and political leftist... I went to college for almost fifteen years preparing myself to be a writer who has something to say. I studied philosophy, military intelligence, literature, history.... and assorted stuff like Cults (anthropology) and art. I have three books out -- google my name John Scott Ridgway --, did a radio show, Peace and Pipedreams that was a big hit with radicals and pot smokers.

Relationship Status:

Single

Movies

True Stories by the Talking Heads, Princess Bride, Pulp Fiction, Wings of Desire... I like complex movies that deal with political issues, whether they be comedy or drama. I also like very dum shit sometimes. I guess if a movie is good... no matter what it is about, I like it.,

Television

I still mourn the loss of Angel, and hope the hell they make a movie. Buffy, too. Criminal Intent, with the the greatest actor of my generation, Donofrio... I also watch the office, 30 rock, south park, -- my buddies, Family Guy, American Dad.... Squid billies is my current cartoon favorite.

Music

U2, the killers, Indigo Girls, Mellisa Etheridge, Foo Fighters... and a lot of others... especially the acts that wrote songs about my campaign and me... like the killers Space Man, which tells a story about what I went through.

Books

Love in the time of Cholera, Mark Twain's On Man and Beast, anything by Vonnegut and Joseph Halderman... as a literature major, I love way too many books to list., Don Dellilo books are also a major love (I have read them all, even the one about math) and White Noise is my favorite.. laugh out loud wonderous...

Heroes

Rev. Jessie Jackson, Ceaser Chavez, Malcom X, Che Guevera, Dr. Daniel Stern, Pynchon, Jesus Christ, Matthew Ridgway, Abe Lincoln, Ann Frank, Brittany Spears
