Favorite Music	BOWIE, 80s new wave including the Smiths, Depeche Mode, the Cure, etc, David Sylvian, Poe, Cocteau Twins, clever angry men like Elvis Costello and Lloyd Cole or that youngster Patrick Wolf, whatever cool mix cd's Saviour Onassis sends me, and I still love Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
Favorite Books	I read books, for a living, so I can't answer, a question, this hard, in a space, this short.

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?

I don't care what it's made of, but it will commemorate the victory of equality and justice over patriarchy and oppression.
