Senator Barack Obama gives an insight to his musical side

Though people have used in a hell lot of different contexts but i truly believe that music has no boundaries nad binds us all.

Even the opposing politicians of the world's most powerful country United States of America agreed on one point .Both John Mc Cain and Barack Obama love Frank Sinatra.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine Sen. Barack Obama said:

"that, growing up, he listened to Elton John and Earth, Wind & Fire but that Stevie Wonder was his ultimate musical hero during the 70s. The Stones' track Gimme Shelter topped his favourite songs from the band. His selection also contained 30 songs from Dylan."


While Obama said he would trust anyone who admires and listens to Dylan, Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones and has has the music of jazz artists like Miles Davis and Charlie Parker and pop singers like Sheryl Crow, senator Mc Cain was not aware of this latest technology of portable players.


When in an interview in "Old Codger" magazine, John McCain was asked what music he had in his iPod. John responded:" What the hell is an iPod? I don't keep up with this newfangled technology, I'm still trying to get the hang of my 8-track player. I like to listen to that new fellow, Lawrence Welk, whenever i can."
