Now the test of who you vote for is not necessarily their views on the issues --but their musical tastes. The question we will shortly be asking of all candidates is the one AP asked Obama--"What's On Your i-Pod?" It turns out that predictably Obama's taste is ecleticThe Illinois senator's playlist contains these musicians, along with about 30 songs from Dylan and the singer's "Blood on the Tracks" album. Jazz legends Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Charlie Parker are also in the mix.
"Actually, one of my favorites during the political season is 'Maggie's Farm,' " Obama said of one of Dylan's tracks. "It speaks to me as I listen to some of the political rhetoric..n the song, Dylan sings about trying be himself, "but everybody wants you to be just like them.."
Obama also likes Springsteen. A study will no doubt be done soon of all Presidential candidates and their musical tastes..
