He's already the coolest Senator we got, and now he's asking his internet fans for new music suggestions to boot.
Listening to music is a big deal to me. Representing the people of Wisconsin involves a lot of travel - especially when you hold 72 Listening Sessions a year – and good music keeps me energized. I'm always on the lookout for new songs, albums, or artists to try and I'd appreciate your recommendations. You can use the form below to make suggestions. Each month I'll share some of my own favorites. www.russfeingold.org/get-involved/fein-tunes.html
In the video, he says he's got 25 Bob Dylan CDs and some African music in the car... and gets the ball rolling with a plug for Wisconsin's own Bon Iver. I knew his last wife, who was a huge Springsteen fan; I know they went to New Jersey when The Boss was doing a week-long stand a few years back.
I figure the Bonnaroo crowd should know what's up Feingold's alley.
Those Listening Sessions he's talked about... When he first ran for Senate in 1992, as an underdog in a primary to challenge an incumbent Republican, he pledged that he would hold an annual Listening Session in each of Wisconsin's 72 counties.
He's been in the Senate eighteen years now, and has held true to that pledge. I was an intern in his office a year ago, and can tell you that he has the state maps from every one of those years on the wall, marking the date of every county's listening session. That's a hell of a lot of driving, especially considering he's usually only in the state between Friday afternoon-Sunday evening.
