From time to time certain artists use their platform for political reasons. For some it turns our great and for others *cough* Dixie Chicks *cough* not so good. Very rarely do we hear from the political parties themselves their interest in the music they love.
Looks to me like one President hopeful is quite the country music fan. Mitt Romney took to his Twitter account with a link to his Spotify playlist that included tracks like Carrie Underwood’s “All-American Girl,” Toby Keith’s “As Good As I Once Was,” and Keith Urban’s “Somebody Like You.”
He said on Twitter that spending a lot of time on the road campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination means you have to carry good music. Other favorites of his include Willie Nelson’s “Over The Rainbow,” Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s “It’s Your Love,” Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire,” and Clint Black’s cover of the Eagles’ “Desperado.”
President Barack Obama released his own Spotify playlist last month. He likes tunes by Dierks Bentley, Zac Brown Band, Montgomery Gentry and two songs each from Sugarland and Darius Rucker.
