"George W Bush is a fan of country music and classic rock, but he also likes "a little bit of hard core and honky tonk", his iPod playlist suggests. " <clipping>
"What should George Bush listen to on his iPod? Send us your comments on the form below


"One Tin Soldier" by Coven.
Anne, Greenbelt, MD, USA

I'm a Loser, by Beck

Ozzy Osbourne's "Thank God for the Bomb" would be appropriate.

1. I always enjoyed the beat to One Tin Soldier

I would sing it over and over again for hours.

On Edit: I would add NoFx's "The Irrationality of Rationality"
