What's on your iPod?

I thought it was very interesting that the phenomenon of the white earbuds has made us question who we are. Elizabeth Beaumiller wrote a piece in the New York Times in early 2005 stating that George W. listened to music that seemed unlike him. Although it was heavy on traditional country singers, he had selections also by Van Morrison, Jon Fogerty, and the Stones. It was fascinating to her that after much analysis most of his music was by artists who didn't like him. She stated that giving your iPod to someone is like opening you up like a journal and that scrolling through another's click-wheel is like seeing them naked. It is a window into what they like, who they are, and what moves them.

If that is true, then I am an educated, Boho-grammy-type, sixty-something liberal from the East Coast who is actually a funked-out twenty-five year old homegirl from the projects.
