The Beatles

I stopped listening to music and watching TV in my 20s. It sounds extreme, but I did it because I thought they would just distract me from thinking about software. That blackout period lasted only about five years, and these days I’m a huge fan of TV shows like Narcos and listen to a lot of U2, Willie Nelson, and the Beatles.

I thought musicians didn't really know about this all health stuff, but we did get to meet, and I was amazed how he knew all about it and read all about it. So it started a partnership and he's been absolutely amazing. (20 m 50 s)

Paul Allan was far more into music than I was and the musician he loved the most was Jimmy Hendrix and since I was under he used to tell me sometimes the title of the songs, and here is our favorite. (16 m 50 s)

My kids who are 19, 16 and 13 refresh my musical taste by tuning up the radio or turning the songs on their phone, and this is the one that my 13 y.o. daughter Phoebe likes, Ed Sheeran has a lot of great songs. (12 m 15 s)

My wife Melinda and I love Willie Nelson so as a surprise gift for her I have him show up the night before we got married. We were on a beach in Hawaii and he kind of walked down the beach with his guitar. One of our favorite songs is this one. (8m35s)

Under Pressure - Remastered

Bill Gates
Entrepreneur
It is David Bowie's and Queen's "Under pressure". In my 20s and 30s we worked a LOT, but there were few Fridays and Saturdays when we would go to the club and dance, so it's kind of reminds me of that disco days with a little bit of weekend freedom. (4 min 20 s)
