Bernie Sanders' taste in music is just as eclectic as you might expect. In an interview with Rolling Stone published Wednesday, the socialist senator and Democratic presidential candidate revealed his musical tastes with an answer that he admitted "will not find favor with Rolling Stone readers":
"On my iPad I have all of Beethoven's symphonies. I like classical music. I am a child of the Sixties — I like the Motown sound and the Supremes and the Temptations. I am one of the few human beings — and this will not find favor with Rolling Stone readers — but I like disco music. I like ABBA. We played some ABBA at my wedding. I like the Bee Gees. I am pretty across-the-board in my musical tastes. I like Celine Dion. I like country music." [Rolling Stone]
You've got to give him credit for at least being honest. Transparency is important, after all.
