Thanks for the info, wagglebee. LOL, when it comes to analog, converting, MP3's and iPods..I am in the dark ages.

Actually this is NOT a celebrity "playlist", it is a "personal mixtape" made for him by someone else:

McKinnon, who has downloaded "Castanets" by Alejandro Escovedo and "Alive 'n' Kickin"' by Kenny Loggins into Bush's iPod, said that sometimes a presidential playlist is just a playlist, nothing more.

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

I can't get over the fact that he's got "My Sharona" on his list.

[SelmaLee]

Oh my, I was in 'love' with Jim Dandy when I was a teen...

Brown-Eyed Girl is a favorite? I guess Bush doesn`t mind hearing it for the 10 billionth time. I think out of the all time most overplayed songs in the history of recorded sound, that song has to be at least in the top 3.

She is under investigation for how she received information about the Valerie Plame/ CIA incident, as well as other classified information. She has refused to reveal her sources, and that is why I hope she gets indicted.

Not for the I-Pod, for goodness sake! I don't give two hoots about that!

Wow! the president listens to Van Morrison and more interestingly to me, Alejandro Escovedo (True Believers)

How would you likw the job of presidential Dj?

[wagglebee]

I've got a friend who does it for me, I tell him what I want and he takes care of it.

[wagglebee]

It's right up there with "Satisfaction", "Stairway to Heaven" and "Freebird".

What's an ipod?

[mylife]

Who says our President isnt well rounded?

[NoCurrentFreeperByThatName]

His taste in music blows...

[Kimmers]

That maybe true but our Presidents still rocks!!!!!!

[Future Snake Eater]

My wife thinks "Baby Got Back" is probably high on his list... :-)

[wagglebee]

I think cyborg's list (#13) is probably the most complete.

[Petronski]

If you want to send me a love letter, dear, please do it in private.



;OP

LOL I read John Candy.

[sassbox]

a few months ago there was a pop song called IIRC "Dip it Low" The chorus basically was instructions for giving a Lewinsky :)

[wagglebee]

I've never heard it, of course I haven't listened to top 40/pop music in about 20 years.

Clinton doesn't even Email. I bet he can't use an Ipod and doesn't have one. Now, he'll have to keep up with Bush and get one. He can tell us about his playlist. Then, the media can tell up how his list is so much cooler than Bush's.
