“I think it is fair to say that, had I not been a Stevie Wonder fan, Michelle might not have dated me, we might not have married,” the President said. “The fact that we agreed on Stevie was part of the essence of our courtship.” VIA

Now, aside from the embarrassing fawning going on in the media nowadays concerning the first couple this particular idea is particularly meaningless. The reason is b/c I don’t know anyone that doesn’t like Stevie Wonder. I mean, everyone on the planet isn’t necessarily his biggest fan but everyone who has heard his music likes it and similarly likes the person himself. You can’t help it. It’s like Mozart or cake. You’ll never hear a person say, “that Stevie Wonder, I just don’t get his music.”

If Barack and Michelle bonded b/c they could agree on Stevie Wonder then that his no great feat. Now if they bonded over Eric Dolphy or something I would at least be impressed in a elitist sort of way. So they both agree on Stevie Wonder – well, join the club with every other human on the earth.
