			Pearl Jam, Rage against the Machine, he didn't miss a showing and aimed high

		 Music  
					
					
					 He didn't have to suffer the 8-track  ... 
		 but still liked to collect LPs, ... 
		 he started with cassettes, ... 
		 then moved on to CD's ... 
		 then converted to Ipod for music at ease. 
		Kareem loved all genres of music.  
		Oldies, Disco, Rap, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Frank Sinatra, Hard Rock, Heavy 
		Metal, Soul, R&B, Reggae.  I can't say that he was very fond of Pop 
		music though, because he couldn't bear to listen to the Backstreet Boys 
		or Britney Spears. 
		
					
		 Some 
					of his favorites are listed to the right.      |
