ABOUT ME

I'm Dan,
I like music a lot
I like reading
I like dreaming about and having adventures
The road is life
The way I view life is influenced by Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Jazz, my friends, weird people i've met, my family,
I love travelling, hopefully will be couch surfing in the US this summer, who knows where!
I Dig Life, accept what is, and look for more of It

PHILOSOPHY

Dig Life.
"Just flow, flow, be you all, be you what it is, it is only what it always is
i think the hardest thing about life is understanding myself

"So you know i’m not on top of any world, not even close, y’know it’s difficult this life, God knows I know that, and I don’t claim to know the first thing about it. Life is a question that needs to be answered followed by another, scribbled questions, scribbled notes of life, constantly written, read and thrown away, each note taking on the scribes full attention, the most important thing in the world, and when it’s done and read the next one becomes most important, like life and the questions we gotta answer. We got to live as much as we can in that present moment, treat the future as the odd dream, and look to the past as experience, and beautiful/painful memories. Right. "

Интересы

Listening and learning about music. I love music, especially Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, The band, Beatles. I love seeing how all music is connected, its just a process of passing down ideas and rhtyhms and how its just a big spider web. Like hearing a phrase in a blues song which I'd hear previously in a Bruce Springsteen song, or a melody Dylan's nicked from an old folk song.
Like playing Bass Guitar, but i'm rubbish and probably won't ever be good. Its fun to play though, love playing Beatles tracks
Going to concerts, seen Dylan 3 times (seeing him 2 more times in April, Ray Davies (kinks), Santana, Tom Waits, Stereophonics,Okkervil River Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Allen Toussiant, love live music in little bars (like in San Fran that time)
Love Travelling, nothing like being on the move. Love going somewhere new and unknown, at the end of the day that is what life is, so it's only natural to wanna see whats over the hill.
Love meeting interesting cats, I always i'm much more interesting, and life is too, when you mix with real interesting people.
