Continuing my #Deftones odyssey, today I am playing the 20th Anniversary deluxe release (2000) of #WhitePony with its extra double album #BlackStallion of mixes by the likes of #RobertSmith #DJShadow and #Squarepusher

Spent some time thinking about #formative #influences: things people read, saw, and otherwise encountered that shaped their #values.

It occurred to me that mine were likely the books I read, from childhood through teen years. (This would be the mid 1960s-1970s.)

It's quite a mixed bag.

The #BlackStallion books
Albert Payson Terhune #dogstories
#Sciencefiction: Again, Dangerous Visions; Heinlein; Joanna Russ
#History: #KingArthur very early on, then mostly #Tudor

A VERY mixed bag!
