Oh, no. Moderate is the way to go. I could no more be conservative than I could be liberal!

where do you stand politally & whats ur stand on...
I consider myself a Truman Democrat. That means my views tend to be moderate and I have never voted Republican in my life. As to war, for the most part I am against it, but then there are situations where it is unavoidable. An example of this is World War II. Germany and Japan could not be stopped through diplomatic means, so sadly the Allies had to go to war with them.

WatchThe Who performing their suite A Quick One While He’s Away. This clip is from The Rolling Stones’ Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus, on which The Who’s performance put that of The Stones to shame!

Wuthering Heights is my favourite book. Good...
Thank you! Wuthering Heights is my favourite book too; Great Expectations is my 2nd favourite. But I’d much rather be Charles Dickens than any of the Bronte Sisters!

If you could have been the author of any book,...
I would like to say Great Expectations by Dickens, but with my personality it would probably be Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.

And here is The Monkees’ version:

The only YouTube videos I watch are old TV shows and music videos, so it was probably the episode of The Goodies with the giant kitten.

Who's the most underrated actor?
That’s hard to say. I think probably John Wayne. A lot of people think he just played “John Wayne,” but there are a world of differences in his characters. Thomas Dunson is totally different from Rooster Cogburn, et. al.

I am a huge Beatles fan and John Lennon was always my favourite Beatle. Basically, he was the greatest songwriter/performer in the greatest rock band of all time, IMHO.

If you could instantly become an expert at one...
I can’t see the point in one style of dance. I mean if I wanted to dance, I’d want to be Fred Astaire, which would entail knowing more than one style… The point of the question is then moot.

Star Trek or Star Wars?
It depends. Classic Star Trek, yes. The later stuff, then I’d go with Star Wars.
