Now I have question about the iPad .
For years now, President Obama has been releasing his own curated playlists.
Last summer’s playlist included “Break My Soul” by Beyoncé, “That’s Where I Am” by Maggie Rogers, and “Praise You” by Fatboy Slim.
It’s always a really, really random and eclectic mix of just about every music genre.
The complete and total randomness of it all led people to believe they were fake.
They wondered who curated them.
Was it a PR team? An intern? There’s no way Obama is bumping Kacey Musgraves and Rosalia!
It just couldn’t be real, could it?
Well, Obama has cleared up the confusion in an interview Hasan Minhaj.
Hasan said, “I need you to look me in the eyes and be honest with me, Mr. President. When you do your end-of-the-year lists, do you really read all those books, watch all those shows, and listen to all those songs?"
“I do! Listen, I am so glad that I have this opportunity. People, they believe the books and the movies, but the playlists, they somehow think, and this is mostly coming from young people like you, somehow, y’all think you invented rock ‘n’ roll, you invented hip-hop," Obama said.
“The fact that my lists are, you know, pretty incredible. People seem to think, well, he must’ve had some 20-year-old intern who was figuring out this latest cut. No, man! It’s on my iPad right now," he proudly declared.
Ultimately, I’m still not 100% convinced, but I do 100% believe his main music-listening device is an iPad.
