Ron Paul



Who? Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)

Musician supporters: Barry Manilow, John Mayer, Krist Novoselic (Nirvana), Jimmie Vaughn (The Fabulous Thunderbirds), dozens and dozens of punk bands

What I assume is on his personal music player: Hard to figure. Paul is 72 years old, a Texan, and loved by indie rockers. He could listen to anything, so Jack FM, I suppose.

On the Record: Is there anybody more inspiring to musicians than Dr. Paul. There's the Ron Paul Rockfest and Ronstock. I bet Joe Biden doesn't have his own musical festival.

Ron has an entire genre of music. Has there been any candidate with as many songs dedicated to him. There is so many that it is a challenge to collect them all. There is rap, country, reggae- every style imaginable. Ron has more music videos than MTV.

Despite video evidence to the contrary, Ron Paul was not a member of Maximo Park or the Strokes.

Will Ron answer my question "What music are you currently listening to?" : As internet savy as Paul's campaign is, I was hoping for at least some kind of reply or acknowledgement. Nothing came. It's a shame, too, as of any of the candidates, I am genuinely interested in what kind of music Dr. Paul listens to.
