Michael Steele, RNC Chairman
Who do you listen to?
I actually listen to a cross section, because I like to hear what the medium is saying, what the voice is.But do you have a favorite?
P. Diddy I enjoy quite a bit.Do you want to rethink that?
[laughs] I guess I'm sorta old-school that way. Remember, I came of age with the DJ and all this other stuff, so I'm also loving Grandmaster Flash, and that's not hip-hop, but... Um, you know, I like Chuck D. And I always thought Snoop Dogg was--he just reminded me of the fellas back home. So I've always thoroughly enjoyed him.Who else?
I like Sinatra. I like old-school. You know, Bing Crosby, Sinatra, Dean Martin. Love Dean Martin. He was one of these guys who just didn't give an F. He just didn't. Life was a party, and you either want to party or you don't. But yeah, I like those. I'm a big Pack Rat. I love the Pack Rats from the 1950s--Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, those guys.You mean the Rat Pack.
The Rat Pack, yeah.
Good lord. This makes me think of a middle-aged man I know who wears hiked-up polyester pants and ties, and whom I have dubbed TweedleDee, because, well, imagine TweedleDee and you’ve got him. Shape and all. (In fact, he carries on conversations when no one is around – perhaps he is talking to TweedleDum.) TweedleDee is always bellowing something about his eternal devotion to Van Halen and playing his air guitar.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
