George W. Bush and the Presidential iPod Mini

Give me some hardcore!
Give me some hardcore!The New York Times has a priceless article on Dubya's new iPod Mini and what he's got stored on it (don't have an NY Times account? Then visit Bugmenot to ease the pain). It appears Dubya likes to listen to The Knack's 'My Sharona', 'You're so square baby, I don't care' by Joni Mitchell amongst others to raise his heart rate during his hour and a half bike rides on his ranch. But don't be fooled by what seems to be an unorthodox play list. The NYT assures us and the bible belt that his iPod contains mostly traditional country fare such as George Jones, Alan Jackson and Kenny Chesney.

Apparently the President 'has a little bit of taste for hard-core' and doesn't mind listening to artists who oppose his political views so I've created a playlist which he won't object to and is sure to raise his heart-rate during his workout.

  1. Public Enemy - 911 is a joke
  2. Ice-T - Cop Killer
  3. Rage Against The Machine - Evil Empire
  4. Atari Teenage Riot - Into The Death
  5. The Dead Kennedy's - Kill The Poor
  6. People's Song's Chorus - The Ballad of F.D.R
  7. The Smiths - This Charmless Man
  8. Joe Glazer - The Giveaway Boys in Washington
  9. John Handcox - There is mean things happening in this land
  10. R.E.M - Its the End of the World as We Know It
  11. Manhattan Chorus - Write Out My Union Card 
  12. Almanac Singers - Dear Mr. President
  13. Tom Glazer - When The Country is Broke
  14. Morry Goodson &  Sonny Vale - Elephant and the Ass
  15. Billy Bragg - Making the World Safe for Capitalism
  16. The George W Bush Singers - Food On Your Family

What else do you think Dubya should be listening to on his iPod Mini? Let us all know by leaving a comment below.....

To an extent an exercise in obviousness.The theme to 'George of the jungle' must be considered as must also Dennis Leary's "Arsehole".

However, the hands down # 1 on GWB's 'top 25 played tracks' playlist would have to be the enduringly appropriate Regurgitator track "I Sucked A Lot Of Cock To Get Where I Am".
