ipod just became uncool:


_41023405_bushipod_ap203.jpg



here's an article about Bush's musical preferences:

"The playlist does reveal a rather narrow range of babyboomer tunes. Writing in the London Times, Caitlin Moran noted: "No black artists, no gay artists, no world music, only one woman, no genre less than 25 years old, and no Beatles."

there's a partial list of his song list but I cant find it so I'll just speculate:


Songs on Bush's Ipod:


America
America the Beautiful
God Bless America
God Bless The U.S.A.
I Am Thankful To Be An American
I Love You So
Song of Freedom
Star-Spangled Banner, the
Stars and Stripes Forever
Taps
This Land is Your Land
When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again
Yankee Doodle
You're a Grand Old Flag
I'm a big fat liar (heheh just seeing if you're paying attention)


so what songs would you put on Bush's ipod?
 
"I am a big, fat, lier" by The Blue States

by the way that list is bs
 
heh a canadian and two brits, a handful of former Heehaw stars and a few good musicians ...I like my list for bush better :)
 
van morrison eh?

my sharona,lol,my sis has that for her ringtone
 
he has some decent music, but a little too country for my taste, gotta respect the clapton and van morrison, not so much the My Sherona
 
I don't really like all too much of his music (some is alright and some of the country is good, but there's a lot of bleh..)

Yes because TRUE diversity comes from the color of our skin and who we like to have sex with. Big ****ing deal, what a low blow. Hey, I dont have any transgender, alien, or songs of animals making noises! I'm a bigot! I must not appreciate their rich cultural heritage because I dont pollute my ears with garbage. Did it ever occur to you (I address this to you because I assume that since you quoted it, you agree with it) that people have different musical tastes? I think Indian music is ****ing disgusting, does that make me uncultured by your high standards? I dont have any (or at least very many) black artists on my ipod. It MUST be because i'm RACIST. Yep, that explains it! Or maybe I dont like shitty hip-hop or r&b. Maybe thats why he doesnt listen to genres less than 25 years old: they suck!Or maybe its none of your business whats on my ipod, and its none of your business what kind of music he likes to listen to. QED.

oh do shut up, jebus everything to you is a knee-jerk reaction ...I merely repeated what was in the article ..they were talking about his musical choices ..do you need to make a big deal out of everything I post?

that is (unlike the Ghosts rambling nonsense) a statement of fact. It is only what you make of it, ghost, your rants defensive nature eludes to the presidents views more than that quote. Think before you type.

Well at least cptstern can read. Check out this gem in my post

(I address this to you because I assume that since you quoted it, you agree with it)

It is indeed a "fact". I'm merely discrediting the blatantly obvious agenda behind it. The quotes objective, while factual, is meant to discredit bush and portray him as a neocon neanderthal
 
I could have made a big deal about his country music choices but I didnt, I could have made fun of the fact that John Fogerty campaigned against him but I didnt ..I could have said he looks like a gimp in a helmet but I didnt ..seriously, what the hell do you want?

you didnt discredit it, in fact, you drew my attention to the agenda behind it. I had no idea that bush was a racist, homophobe until you suggested that perhaps that is what the quote eluded to.

I would think you would have made fun of him if he DIDN'T listen to anyone who campaigned against him. Why would you make fun of him for listening to someone who did campaign against him? Hell, I'm a cop and I love Rage Against the Machine's music, does that make me an idiot? Good music is good music.
 
he had Eric Clapton on there, did he have "cocaine" hahahahaha ah, I CRACK myself up...
 
even though the band is anti-war? even though tom morello and Zack de la rocha are both activists? anyways you're making a big deal out of nothing.

BTW maybe he didnt know about fogerty

What big deal? I was commenting. And yes, I don't give two shits about Zach or Tom's political leanings. They make good music. Tom Morello does some of the coolest things ever heard on the guitar. The fact that they're a couple commie pinkos doesn't enter into it :E I also listen to System of A Down. Who the hell bases their musical tastes on the race/gender/politics/etc. of the band, or members of the band? You, apparently.
 
If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine.

bush thinks clapton wrote it about him :naughty:
 
I'm just asking ..oh and dont try steering it my way, I like all forms of music regardless of the person behind the music ...doesnt it bother you that the "evil empire" is referring to the US? doesnt it bother you that "bullet in the head" is about standing up to imperialistic lies?

"Ya standin' in line
Believin' the lies
Ya bowin' down to the flag
Ya got a ****in' bullet in ya head"










I'm just asking :E
 
No.

It doesnt bother me one bit. I dont listen to music to be brainwashed by the arrogant, rich, musicians political taste.

No. Should it? In one of the bands I play in, Killing in the Name (which is anti-cop) is one of the songs we play. And I can nail the solo :bounce:

you prefer to get your brainwashing from arrogant, rich, politicians as we can all obviously tell.
 
so it's just meaningless to you? I guess there's not much "rage" in your Rage against the machine cover band. The machine being corporate america/establishment etc. I think what I admire most about them is that their convictions come out in their music ...I cant listen to them without thinking political ...that's what they're all about

Some people can make good music without feeling the words. Obviously you've not been a musician for a long time. I'm an instrumentalist, but it doesnt matter if I'm playing the USSR anthem or the National anthem, I could play them both with the same intensity.

lyrics require a different "intensity" not just blowing hard into an oboe.

anywho back on topic, this made me see bush as more of a regular person, its a light newspiece lets stop arguing like petty fools (myself included)

bad double post :(

Can you do anything without thinking political? (Hahahaha its a joke... or not :()

Anyways, if i was Bush i wouldn'd use an iPod. I hate them things anyways. Get a good off brand mp3 player, they are smaller and can hold more or less depending on what you need.

It was a gift. Would look bad to get it as a gift and then officially not use it like that. xD

Actually, it's not a Rage Against the Machine cover band. That is but one of the myriad songs by myriad artists we cover. My other band, however, solely does Pantera songs...some of which are also anti-cop. I don't sing, I play guitar. But I digress...

I don't understand why you think it should, "bother," me that some musicians sing anti-cop songs. Or songs with a political message I don't identify with. I play guitar. If the song is well-written and pleasing to my ear, I'll listen to it. I'll even buy the CD if it's good enough to lay down money on. I liked Smells Like Teen Spirit (until it got run into the ground,) and that song has no coherent message whatsoever. Do I need to, "feel," the message to perform the music correctly? Are you implying that a gay actor can't possibly play a homophobe with any degree of accuracy because he can't truly, "feel," the character? I don't know, I guess to a certain degree, I expect most, "message," songs to have a message I don't agree with, since a majority of musicians tend to lean to the left. Doesn't mean the songs don't rock.

You say, "I like all forms of music regardless of the person behind the music." This suggests that you would listen to an album of country/western paeans to the greatness of America written and performed by Dubya himself. Yet you can't understand how listening to, and performing, Rage Against the Machine songs doesn't bother me. Surely you aren't implying that only someone who believes as you do could possibly be open-minded enough to listen to a song that is in absolute opposition to what he believes in. That would be almost....close-minded... :naughty:




That being said, this is mostly tongue in cheek, as I am assuming yours was when you posted. I wouldn't want you to think I was making a big deal, jumping to conclusions or attacking you. :p
