From My iPod

A recent article in Rolling Stone Magazine revealed the contents of Senator Obama's (aka B-HO) iPod. I hate to be a skeptic (as I know I'm being constantly accused of being partisan), but this is as scripted as scripted gets. I think we should subpeona iTunes for his downloads.

Let me offer the evidence, albeit circumstantial, on which I base my conclusion. In the RS article, Obama says Stevie Wonder is probably his favorite musician. Ok, fair enough, I'm a Stevie fan myself. What's odd is that when he gives examples of his favorite songs, he gives them in the exact order that Eddie Murphy gave them during his raunchy stand-up HBO special as he was doing his Stevie Wonder impression).

Specifically, Obama says "Stevie had that run with Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Fulfillingness’ First Finale and Innervisions, and then Songs in the Key of Life".

What might be most annoying about the article is how he shamelessly name-drops. "Everytime I talk to Jay-Z...".

Ok, so let's make something positive out of this. There are always articles about "What's on this star's iPod". iTunes even has downloads--so you can have the same songs on your iPod, as say, Tom Cruise has on his (check that--i think Scientologists think iPod's evil incarnate).

Anyway, I'm starting a new feature on Steakmatters---What's on G's iPod. I LOVE music--it can do so much for your spirit. I love it all. So once every week or so, I'll share a song or a Band that I think is kicking ass. I may even go old-school and reminisce.
