Educational Music Curators: Tim Bishop and Peter Flaherty
====================================================================================================
In the halls of Holy Cross College's JD Power Center/Political Science department, two distinguished faculty members, Tim Bishop and Peter Flaherty, share a passion for music that transcends the classroom.
As Chief Features Editors, Bishop and Flaherty have a knack for curating compelling content. But their musical tastes, it seems, are as diverse as the topics they cover.
Tim Bishop, a seasoned politician turned professor, finds solace in the melodies of Bruce Springsteen and The Who. His current favourite track is "Incident on 57th Street" by Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band, a testament to the enduring influence of the Boss. However, it's "Silver Thunderbird" by Marc Cohn that holds the most emotional significance for Bishop. This song reminds him of his father and his tireless work ethic, a poignant reminder he listened to daily during his first campaign for Congress in the Fall of 2002.
Bishop's playlist is a mix of the E-Street radio channel and the 60's/70's folk rock channel, reflecting his steadfast love for music from those decades. His favourite live version of "Land of Hope and Dreams" is by Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band, a fitting choice for a man who has always dreamt big.
On the other hand, Peter Flaherty, a scholar with a wide-ranging interest in music, finds his favourites scattered across genres. His current favourite song is "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack, while his all-time favourite song by The Village People is the iconic "YMCA". Flaherty also has a soft spot for modern country, with Blake Shelton's "God's Country" being a favourite.
Flaherty's musical journey is marked by a few songs that hold deep personal and spiritual meaning. "Lift High The Cross" and "Ave Maria" are his favourite songs connected to his faith, while "Lift High The Cross" reminds him of his childhood.
Both Bishop and Flaherty prefer digital platforms for their music, with Bishop favouring Sirius XM and Flaherty opting for Apple Music. Flaherty's musical tastes have remained steady over time, but he also enjoys Irish music, country, pop, rap, the Camelot soundtrack, and even classical music. He is also an accomplished pianist.
In the classroom, Bishop teaches the course "Policy and Politics in America", while Flaherty's areas of expertise are wide-ranging, from American politics to international relations. But it's their shared love for music that adds a unique rhythm to their lives and work at Holy Cross College.
