I was going to do reviews and blogs on entertainment on my other web site, OlderMusicGeek's Stupid Stuff at oldermusicgeek.blogspot.com, but I didn't want to bore people with my opinions and views, because everyone's opinions and views count. So I created this site for people who want to be bored with my take on different music, movies, books or whatever. Email me at OlderMusicGeek(at)yahoo(dot)com.

MUSIC: What's On Michelle Obama's Ipod?
I got this from Yahoo.
And if you've read my blog before, you know I'm fascinated by what people have on their mp3 player - as this, this, and this show! - OlderMusicGeek
SUMMIT NOTEBOOK: Michelle Obama's request hour

PITTSBURGH – Hey, Michelle Obama — what's on your iPod?
Sara Bareilles, among other things.
If the singer-songwriter didn't know already, she — and plenty of other people, too — now know that the first lady is one of her biggest fans.
"I love her," Mrs. Obama gushed Friday, giving a shout-out to Bareilles for the performance she was giving at a concert the first lady organized for students at the Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts School.
"She is on my iPod. She has gotten me through many a day," Mrs. Obama said, ticking off the names of two of Bareilles' songs, "Gravity" and "Love Song." Bareilles performed the latter selection during the show.
Mrs. Obama could hardly contain her excitement as she said country crooner Trisha Yearwood, "another of my favorites," and cellist Yo-Yo Ma would be performing.
"You know, what more is there to say?" she said after uttering the world famous cellist's name. "I'm just (as) excited as you all."
