Best cops/detectives

[GonzoStyle]

Hey k1d it's called personal tastes. You like rap and someone else doesn't.

By your standards should we not read shakespeare since the bard died centuries ago? Should the next generation not listen to tupac since he is dead? They are not called classics cause they are old. Most of the stuff today is stuff taken from older things such as books and movies. I am not saying I do not like newer things but when you say detective I do not think of LA Law I automatically think of Sherlock Holmes or Sam Spade.

I listen to classical music, I think the beatles are the greatest rock band ever, I think Paul Newman and Sidney poitier are the greatest actors ever, I think Dostoyevsky is the greatest writier ever. Doesn't mean I do not read grisham or clancy, or like brad pitt and denzel washington, or listen to system of a down.

It doesn't matter if I was not alive, it's called educating yourself to appreciate all aspects of life past and present. I am not gonna stop watching old movies cause you want me to be up to date.

I like some current shows but there is not much out there, fuckin seinfeld was on for so many years yet I never saw the point. Maybe it's easier to go back to the classics because we know they are there and you can listen to over 200 years old music and watch 80 years of old movies anytime you want. Maybe cause our classics are being made now it's tough cause they are coming along slowly.

I can listen to mozart one day, listen to led zeppelin the next and then put on a jay-z album. I am not just stuck in one moment of time or one specific genre of anything. Movies, music or literature. That is just me, maybe that is why I have a slightly more open mind.

I always loved Dashill Hamets detective novels and he wrote both Maltese Falcon and The Thin man which were my top two picks. I loved the films as well so I put them up there. My grandma always watched Columbo and I watched with her and liked it. Steve Mcqueen is ice fuckin cool and I loved him in bullitt.

I just love classics, not to be pretentious. It's the way I been since I was 12 and I first saw casablanca and listened to chopin. I grew from there to blues and classic rock at the same time listening to current shit.

That's just the way I am, don't ;like it? I don't much care.
