New Rolling Stone Interview

Barack Obama: The Stevie Wonder Geek Returns to the Cover of Rolling Stone : Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily: "“If I had one musical hero, it would have to be Stevie Wonder,” says Obama, who grew up on Seventies R&B and rock staples including Earth, Wind and Fire, Elton John and the Rolling Stones. “When I was at that point where you start getting involved in music, Stevie had that run with Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Fulfillingness’ First Finale and Innervisions, and then Songs in the Key of Life. Those are as brilliant a set of five albums as we’ve ever seen.”"

Obama, of course, was the first candidate that Rolling Stone ever endorsed in a primary.
