Although Buttigieg, 37, hasn’t told voters much thus far about how he’d govern a profoundly divided nation, we already know a fair amount about something almost as important: Mayor Pete’s eclectic taste in pop music.
Pete Buttigieg attends a campaign stop at Stonyfield Farms on April 19 in Londonderry, N.H. , the gay, Episcopalian, Maltese-American millennial and Afghanistan veteran who plays classical piano, speaks seven languages and has emerged over the past few months as a legitimate challenger to the better-known likes of Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

But the idea that every song was different, that they would settle into the music and take it interesting places, really excited me.

It was the song of the summer, or about to be, when I was packing my bags and when I was in combat training.It’s funny — I can still picture the first time I heard it. We were on a school-bus-style vehicle getting us out to the shooting range.
