barack obama covering rolling stone mag

Barack Obama is covering Rolling Stone magazine for the second time. The Democratic Presidential nominee reveals that he has ‘eclectic tastes’ in music as he takes the magazine through what he has on his iPod.

The politician says he is a fan of Bob Dylan, Yo-Yo Ma, Sheryl Crow and hip-hop star Jay-Z. Obama also says he is a fan of the Rolling Stones, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and jazz greats like Miles Davis and John Coltrane. He also said he has been thrilled to get support from musicians such as Bruce Springsteen and Dylan.

Rolling Stone doesn’t post the full article online, but they definitely have some snippets.

He is a very admirable man. A person’s musical taste can tell you alot about them, so I like the fact that his musical collection is so diverse. I really think he has the intellect, and the proper agenda to be the next leader of the country. You Go Boy!!!!

Great cover. I love it. I bet you he’ll get a 3rd cover, whether he wins or not. Eeew can you imagine McCain on the cover of Rolling Stone…NOT.

Mark my words, those racist white Republicans and news reporters are going to use the fact that he listens to Jay Z against him. It’s only a matter of time before they link Jay Zs lyrics with what Obama stands for, only to tear him down.

They hate to see such an eloquent, intelligent, well dressed, well mannered and most of all popular African American as the Presdential nominee. It kills them so they try and dissect every aspect of his life and put it under a microscope in oder to make him look bad.

BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS: Beyond the Veil of Fraternity Pledging…. “pharaoh jones”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg4CEm0ebPk

pharaoh jones tour:
The challenge of moral development when subject to “group think” pressures…

The sexual use of women for the purposes of male-bonding…

The use of ritual in human development and socialization…

The college man’s debt to chivalry in a world aspiring to gender equality…

How does a man maintain his personal integrity when faced with these and other challenges?

S Y N O P S I S
After a live step show salute to Black women, Willis Jones and his 4 line brothers are facedwith a strong challenge to their moral consciousness, respect for women, and knowledgeof self. With community, leadership, and service as the cornerstones of his fraternity, Butch, the Dean of Pledges, tests one of the most distinguishing elements of a man for others: strength of character. Does “pharaoh willis jones” possess the moral fiber RA is
looking for? Will he sacrifice his principles for the sake of unity or stand his ground alone?
How does one maintain personal integrity amidst the pressure of unified thinking gone astray? The pharaohs take you on a journey through one of their most challenging nights on line. Will they rise and pledge to be the men they say they are? Individuals vs. the group, right vs. wrong, Morality vs. Immorality: these are the issues OBC explores in this high-energy short.

B O O K I N G O P T I O N S
pharaoh jones is a provocative look behind the wall of Black fraternity life and the character building challenges initiates into this world face. It offers social commentary in a context that sparks dialogue, debate, and, most importantly, change.

he must really dig jay-z (which i believe he does) to throw him in that mainstream mix. Obama you lyin’!!!! Tell me how a 47-year old black man even if he was raised by white folks in Hawaii….have no Commodores, no Chaka, no Motown (except Stevie) no 80’s hip-hop, no Luther etc., etc.!!! (He probably got P.E. up in there, but can’t tell nobody that!!!!) but a bunch of very mainstream approved oldhead white rockers. Mind you, I’m a few years younger than Obama and I can can sing just about every 70’s corny rock ballad, but c’mon. Dude married a chick from the South Side, lived in Chicago, was with an activist black church for 20 years, SORRY…I don’t buy it.

AND NO PRINCE!!!!! For that time period, that era, impossible. He really is a clandestine white man if he ain’t got no Prince up in there. Say what you want people, you can tell a man more by his musical tastes than anything else….

NO Michael or Janet???

I know he tryna keep it accessible for the “mainstream” but WE KNOW BETTER. Or else I’m hafta personally send a brother my collection of Prince bootlegs. Oooh, can I say that on here, Prince might sue. I mean my Prince collection of music Prince personally approved for release.

There are some of us black folks who don’t believe that Obama is the second-coming of Jesus Christ. Frankly, his voting record just doesn’t line up with me. This man believe is partial-birth murder; he doesn’t believe in any type of oiling drilling in this country; he want to “talk” to leaders who will at a given moment cut an American throat. But I guess as long as so smooth talking black man, I should follow the herd. I don’t like McCain, but I am sure in the hell ain’t voting for Obama.

WE ALL KNOW THAT THE REPUBLICAN ATTACK ADS ARE COMING, AND IN ORDER FOR OBAMA TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD AD TIME ON TV TO RESPOND, AND DEFEND HIS NAME, AND REPUTATION HE WILL NEED OUR HELP.

OBAMA WANTED HIS CAMPAIGN TO BE FUNDED BY THE VOTERS, SO LET’S DO OUR SAMLL PART, SO THAT WE DEMOCRATS CAN REALLY SAY THAT WE SUPPORTED OUR CANDIDATE, AND THAT THROUGH OUR HELP WE PUT OUR PRESIDENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE, TO WORK FOR US.

this is a good thing barack is a man of different taste. now; at the democratic convention. if the theme at the convention, can the democrats steer away from bush bashing and talking about attacking and taxing the rich. because being in my 50’s , i’ve heard this theme time and time again, its really time for change. let the veterans know that they can believe in change and that its not going to be the same ol thanks for your service and then your forgotten. and speak to america about a new vision for america where the right, and the left. and even those in the middle must have a open mind and assist w/ this vision. cause we are all responsible for the direction america takes. from the air we breath, to the right positive education of our children, to better living wages and standards for our hard working middle class. and the forgotten low-income. the message of change must be inclusive and must be felt by all americas. to the proud rich, to the barely getting by poor folks . the destiny of a nation is in our hands. new fresh minds w/ honest leadership working in unison no child will be left behind and no american LEFT OUT . if you start talking about giving away the farm the american people will see right though it. we as americas HAVE NOTHING TO HANG OUR HEADS ABOUT. a new vision is on the horizon america will continue to stand and continue to be in the forefront we will continue to shine. lets show them republicans that democrats are on a level that looks ahead. which will protect and save our land, our future, and our kids. now this is a snippet of what this convention should steer itself in . people are coming at barack in all different sides its time democrat PLANNING committee, that you change up and flip the script and show us and the world the democrats are truly a class act. regardless of what fox, mccain, brad blakeman, or what ralph nader may spew about . its time to look above and beyond the same ol style and way of doing things.

Obama makes people feel good, and he inspires them, b/c on the surface he’s a very charismatic guy. However, Obama has no substance.

Obama is the political equivalent of a “one night stand”. He charms his way into voters’ pants, but the next morning the voters will wind up in a depressed, self-loathing funk b/c they “can’t believe they fell for a politician again” & all the time praying they didn’t catch and S.T.D.

Of course, that’s just the opinion of one “typical white person”, so I could be wrong…”
