ENCORE: Why Kara Swisher loves country music and the military
Today on the show, we're re-running a listener favorite: our interview with longtime journalist and media entrepreneur Kara Swisher, who's been covering Silicon Valley and the Internet since the days of dial-up. She’s taken nearly all of technology's titans to task with a fearless, no-nonsense style. But in this episode, she shows another side of herself: the “San Francisco liberal lesbian who loves country music and wanted to be in the military.” Here are her songs.
The Last Great American Dynasty – Taylor Swift
Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera) – Doris Day
Corner Of The Sky – John Rubinstein
Landslide – Fleetwood Mac
Jesus, Take the Wheel – Carrie Underwood
Wahine ‘Ilikea – Dennis Kamakahi
Quarter Moon – Cheryl Wheeler
