In interview with Fox News, President Bush talks more about his iPod playlist, which includes Don--not Dan--McLean.
At the end of a lengthy interview Wednesday with Fox News' Brit Hume about the state of the war in Iraq, President George W. Bush provided more insight into his chosen food of love.
"Beach Boys, Beatles, Alan Jackson, Alan Jackson, Alan Jackson, Alejandro, Alison Krauss, the Angels, Aretha Franklin...Dan McLean, remember him?" Bush said in a video that Fox affiliate Sky News posted on its Web site today.
When corrected by an aide off camera that it was Don McLean who sang the 1970s hit "American Pie," Bush agreed.
"I listen to all of these," he said. "Bono came in and dropped the new iPod on me."
Bush then compared the tiny new iPod Nano Bono showed him to the older one he carries.
"This is a clunker compared to the newer version," he said.
Bush said he loves his iPod Shuffle.
"I got the Shuffle, it's lightweight, you crank it on, and you shuffle the Shuffle, put it in my pocket, got the ear things on," he said.
This was the second time the public has learned about the contents of Bush's iPod. In April, the White House revealed the playlist Bush often uses when he's on one of his much-publicized mountain-biking excursions near his ranch in Crawford, Texas.
That list included similar country, rock, and Americana tracks from John Fogerty, Van Morrison, George Jones, Kenny Chesney, and Bryan Adams, but also The Knack's "My Sharona."
