Dorgan Digs Eclectic Beats -- But Not Limp Bizkit

September 17, 2007 | 2:26 PM

Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., addressed the Future of Music Coalition annual policy summit on Monday afternoon, where he revealed his love for an eclectic array of tunes: "I love music. I know less about it than I'd like to know, especially about the music that is around today."

Nevertheless, the Senate Commerce Committee member said he jogs with a handheld XM Satellite Radio device and has a vintage jukebox in his basement. "It's a pretty good jukebox," he said, ticking off a few of the 50 records that he spins in his spare time. His favorite 45s include Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley, and the Rolling Stones.

"I don’t have Limp Bizkit … but I'm trying to keep freshening the music on my jukebox," Dorgan admitted. He did say, however, that he recently met with the Grammy award-winning rock band OK Go and they were well-dressed gents. They wore "neckties and the whole deal," Dorgan said.
