What's On Jesus' iPod?
Protest anthems, Zeppelin, gospel, classical and, of course, Nine Inch Nails. And, yes, Jesus does P2P

You know he has one.

You know it's the big 60GB model, loaded, flawless and gleaming and radiating a strange liquid ethereal glow and couched in a beautiful custom rainbow-colored biodegradable case made of clouds and eagle feathers and wine.

And of course Jesus gets his iPods wholesale, given how he and Steve Jobs go way back, back to the time when Jobs was a scruffy twentysomething geek ever praying for revelation and God finally gave Jesus the green light to inspire the first Mac.

The iPod and Jesus -- it just makes sense.

After all, Jesus was a rebel. Jesus was the Original Liberal. Jesus was a devoted pacifist and a badass egalitarian and his best friends were all whores and dissidents and freethinkers and miscreants, artists of every shape and size and haircut and of course, were he walking around today, Jesus would be pretty much loathed and ostracized if not outright hacked to bits by the Christian Right. "Goddamn hippie liberal tree hugger," they'd sneer, waving scythes and Bibles. "What the hell?" Jesus would say.

15. and for historical music

Any or all of the following: a bit of chant, an Ockagham mass, a poly-choral piece by G. Gabrieli or Praetorius, Bach organ works, and perhaps parts of the Christmas Oratorio or the Coffee Cantata, Beethoven's 9th Symphony, a bit of a Rossini opera, Schubert choral music, Mendelssohn's Reformation Symphony, a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta and a shape-note hymn from "The Sacred Harp."

What would not be on it: Any of the really ghastly, saccharine 19th century church music or modern "christian" music.
