It seems to be that southern Europeans are just more intimate socially, whereas I like a lot of personal space - like, a mile from the nearest person is fine for me.
I've always been very image prone, along the lines of bands like Black Sabbath and even Devo.
Well, darkness with humor... I'm not an extremely suicidal or sad person.
I think all recent music sucks, and that includes Type O Negative.
Sometimes, I write '60s or '80s style pop songs.
I stay way from that area, and there's only so many songs you can write about love, sex and death.
