Ace, this cries out for a top ten list.

BTW, it's a safe bet that Ted Kennedy doesn't have G&R's "I Used To Love Her, But I Had To Kill Her" on his iPod.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

I was thinking the same thing... but I need help!

"Cocaine" by Clapton, "War Pigs/Fairies Wear Boots" by Sabbath....

I'm sorry, no comment on this post - I'm still reeling from the news that Son of Nixon is straight ...

Yeesh... the meme that won't die. Being a TANG fighter pilot was not a "coveted spot," and many of them died.

I'm sitting here right now laughing at the idea of Bush lip syncing to "My Sharona." Imagine him on the treadmill in the morning with the headphones on: "my-y-y-y-y-whoo!"

The Ted Kennedy Remix, for Dave and Ace:

"I used to love her, but I had to kill her,
She drove me nuts, I drove us off a bridge,
Then I got out and swam awaaaay..ayayayayayay!"

Allah: I was actually more disturbed by the idea of Bush singing "such a dirty mind, always get it up, for the touch, of the younger kind"

That's a bit more in Clinton's wheelhouse.

Reports say that Howard Dean does not have "Screaming for Vengeance" by Judas Priest on his I-pod.

Someone write a column!!!!!

The man listens to George Jones.

He is the chosen one.

Ah yes, the venerable NYT.
It's not about the facts, it's about what WE think.
Meanwhile, Fogarty's still out there flogging songs from 'Centerfield' and wondering what was wrong with the Blue Ridge Rangers.

Songs not found of politician iPods:
1) I'm too sexy (Right Said Fred) - Rep. Henry Waxman
2) The Wanderer (Dion and the Belmonts) - Pres. Bill Clinton
3) My Boyfriends Back (The Angels) - Rep. Barney Frank
4) Fat Bottom Girls (Queen) - Sen Hillary! Clinton
5) I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night (and Party Every Day) (Kiss) - Sen Ted Kennedy
6) Short People (Randy Newman) - Labor Secretary and Travelocity SpokesGnome Robert Reich
7) Dixie (various artists) - Sen Robert Byrd

Please note that Fogarty did not go to Vietnam but instead served in the national guard. This illustrates the hypocrisy of Bumiller/Kerry: the common man and protest songwriter was availed of the same opportunity as the Ivy League scion.

Not on Ted Kennedy's iPod:

1. The Bottle Let Me Down - Merle Haggard
   
2. Roadhouse Blues - The Doors
   
3. Drive On - Johnny Cash
   
4. Right is Right - Rufus and Chaka Khan
   
5. Nothing's Left - Insane Clown Posse
   
6. Ted, Just Admit It... - Jane's Addiction
   
7. Devil on the Left - Jamie O'Neal
   
8. Big Ruddy Head - Whitee
   
9. Drowned - The Who
   
10. anything by the Dead Kennedies

Please also note, IIRC, that the son of Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen, Gov. Dukakis' running mate, served in the same TANG unit as George Bush. Don't remember Fogerty singing about that in 1988.

Just off the top of my head...

For President Bill, "Devil in the Blue Dress," Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels.

For the Governator, "California Uber Alles," the Dead Kennedys.

And for my man, Howard Dean, a triple:
3) "21st Century Schizoid Man," King Crimson.
2) "Bigmouth Strikes Again," the Smiths.
1) "I Wanna Be Sedated," the Ramones.

Utron - Those are very good.

Surely Bill Clinton lacks room on his iPod for "Earth Girls Are Easy." Ted Kennedy, of course, never listens to the Beatles' "Run For Your Life."

Senator Byrd, I think, gets another Ramones song: "The KKK Took My Baby Away."

Where's my t-shirt.

Facist.

Heh.

Other songs found missing from politicians' Ipods.

Bill Clinton: Small Cigar (Jethro Tull)
Hillary Clinton: The Bitch is Back (Elton John)
Ted Kennedy: Dead in the Water (David Grey)
Sandy Berger: Shredding the Document (John Hiatt)

vonKreedon - the DKs title most shockingly absent from Ted Kennedy's iPod: Too Drunk to F*ck.

Also missing:

DC Mayor Marion Barry: Neil Young’s “Powderfinger”

Retired News Spinner Dan Rather: R.E.M.’s “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?”

DNC Chair Howard Dean: Black Flag’s “Loose Nut”

Senator Barbara Mikulski, D-MD: Bowie’s “Laughing Gnome”

Senator Ted Kennedy, D-MA: Crash Test Dummies “The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead”

"Cocaine" (Clapton) - Marion Berry

Al "Earth in the Balance" Gore: Beach Boys, "Warmth of the Sun"

Tom Daschle: The Scorpions, "Too Much Time on My Hands"

The previous post was mine. Forgot to add my name.

To show that we have a sense of humor and/or that this board is not free republic, how about some more re-thugs? :P

"50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" - Newt Gingrich
"La Marseillaise" - Donald Rumsfeld

Uh, fat kid, I believe the correct term is "Rethuglikkkan," plus a skull and crossbones gif, to scare the kids.

This Ipod crap is a lot of nonsense. I know many veterans (myself included) who thoroughly enjoyed (and still do) music by Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and John Fogerty. So what, they're great musicians! As far as politics and national defense, they are innocently ignorant at best and just plain unadulterated stupid assholes who are unable to ask meaningful questions of the Stalin-Fascist left at worst.

At least George Bush flew fighter aircraft that left a lot of American widows in their wake. As for John Kerry -- awshit just forget it!

The Scorpions, "Too Much Time on My Hands"

Definitely wasn't the Scorps. It was either REO Speedwagon or someone like that.

Actually, "Too Much Time on My Hands" was Styx. Even worse than REO Speedwagon, and that's saying a lot.

So, when I get rejuvenated into a 20-year-old demigod, do facts like that get purged from my brain so I can use the neurons for something slightly useful?

Yeah, Styx. I even remember the video for that song, right when non-concert vids were taking off. When Tommy Shaw was singin "I'm sitting on the bar stoll, actin like a damn fool.." the director chose to interpret that for this new youth medium via a scene of Tommy Shaw actually sitting on a bar stool, acting like a damn fool and singing the song to other patrons. Visionary, wild stuff. Blew me and my freinds minds and we could tell imagination was gonna be the only limit for this new TV medium.

NB. It is my hope future generations will recognize Dennis Deyoung has a lot to answer for that which went wrong in the late 20th century. A hell of a lot.

Right, Styx. I can never, ever, ever remember Styx.

I can remember "the Alan Parsons Project." But I always forget Styx.

And Styx was actually considered tres cool at some point.

Me above. (Damn, why is it so hard to remember to write my name? Where's the science for that, huh?)

Dave at Garfield Ridge had a good suggestion.

For Teddy's iPod

1. Whiskey Blues
2. Tide is High
3. Steppin' in My Brother's (bigger) shoes.
4. Sea of Love
5. Saturday Night Fever
6. One Whiskey, One Bourbon, One Beer
7. That's Alright Momma
8. John Barleycorn Must Die.
9. Born to Run
10. Ode to Mary-Jo

Good Lord. I'd forgotten all about the Alan Parson Project, and now I'm remembering them and Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells," not to mention an unspeakably lame Styx video.

It'll take another twenty years to re-forget all that awful, awful music. I think I hate you guys.

I'd forgotten all about the Alan Parson Project

That puts you one over on Alan Parsons, don't it?

Hey! Styx was "the poor man's Yes" once upon a time....

Different tastes, Uton. I liked Tubular Bells. And the Parsons Project's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" done after Edgar Allen Poe's work, was super zonk-out music. Especially "The Raven".

It was Parson's production of "Dark Side of the Moon" that made him a music great.

And throw in Jeff Lynne, who did OK as a musician with ELO, etc, but really made his mark producing and collaborating with the legends - Beatles, Streisand, Dylan, Orbison, Petty...
