The Celebrity Playlist

Have you ever looked the celebrity playlists on iTunes? Every once in awhile I do, but it doesn’t influence my purchases. Sometimes it seriously looks like a celebrity must be in promotion mode for a new record/television show/movie and their publicist must have presented them with the opportunity to do a celebrity playlist. I could see the directions being something like:

At least one song must be a current hit
At least one song must be an oldie to show that you listen to more than top 40
At least one song must be obscure
At least one song must be critically acclaimed

Some of them seem unbelievable and unnecessary like Dina Lohan (?). My favorite recently was Chris Rock’s playlist. I think it got my attention because Wet Sand is my favorite song off of Stadium Arcadium, but it also seems like a believable mix by someone who loves music. Here's his playlist. Log on to iTunes to see his commments about each. --J
