Music: I interviewed my Dad for this project. He apparently really liked Bob Dylan, but im not surprised. Then he said that he liked a band called Weather Report. At first I thought he was joking, then he showed me some of their music and I was surprised. I had never heard of them yet they did not sound half bad. He mainly liked them because of their bass lines. He is of course biased to this because he is a basest himself.
