Swoon.



Skinny blond boys in pompadours and big guitars.

Mike Mascari in 10th grade English class.

Pre-Army stint Elvis Presley.


Shaggy haired wild eyed creative types with baggy black leather jackets and sneakers.

Men significantly taller than I.

Slightly naive, sort of cornfed boys.

Jazz musicians who tilt back their porkpie hats before closing their eyes and leaning back to hit a high note.

Michael Hutchence. Never Tear Us Apart.

Gene Kelly.

Jimmy Stewart in Hitchcock.

Chris in the morning.

Lane Meyer.

Rob Gordon.

  3. I almost forgot three really big ones:

    Justin Timberlake
    Jack White
    Eugene Hutz
