The President’s iPod
Maybe you saw the story this week about what the President listens to on his iPod. And the accompanying sidebar on what’s on his playlist.
You can also read some speculation about what might be on the playlist of other politicians
(this is on the L.A. Times website, which requires registration, but
just go to bugmenot.com and they’ve got a reg already set up for
you–even better, download the extension for Firefox and automate the
bugmenot process). Some examples:
Karl Rove: “Under My Thumb”; “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?”
Alberto Gonzales: “Whip It”
Colin Powell: “Free Bird”
John Bolton: “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)”
Bill Clinton: “Sexual Healing”
Al Gore: “March of the Wooden Soldiers”
Tom DeLay: “Burnin’ Down the House”Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger: “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”
In that spirit, fire up your iPod in shuffle mode and put down the first 10 songs that come up. Here’s mine:
Ultraviolet – U2
River Rat Jimmy – Kelly Joe Phelps
You’re Gonna Change – Emmylou Harris
The Ballad of Carol Lynn – Whiskeytown
Even Better than the Real Thing – U2
The Lighthouse’s Tale – Nickel Creek
Ain’t Misbehavin’ – Fats Waller
Big Rock Candy Mountain – Harry McClintock
Poses – Rufus Wainwright
Personal Jesus – Johnny Cash

I’m so excited that someone else has FINALLY heard of Nickel Creek.
