It looks like its a fax from the NSA to the DoD. The list is probably a list of performers who want to know if their music was used…ROYALTIES!

They need to be smarter. I voluntarily listen to a lot of those artists. Although, the Star Spangled Banner is a level of evil no person should be subjected to.

Don’t believe in God.
Even if I did, it’s arrogant to demand God to only bless America.
To demand (or ‘ask’) God to do anything defeats the whole purpose of God’s will anyways.

It’s funny. I go to many motorcycle rallies across the country and they ALL play the same songs at each and every one of them. The soundtrack is on a never ending loop. If I hear Sweet Home Alabama one more time I will break something

Does the military pay for the rights to the songs? Someone should alert the RIAA.

All songs were purchased with CIA empoyees’ iTunes giftcards.

Brian Sabean strongly encourages you to disregard the drudgery of your employment responsibilities and join him in the consumption of spirituous libations.

How about the Wiggles on continuous loop? The first time was weird, the second time amusing, the third time you start singing along, the fourth time you hate yourself for singing along, and by the fifth time you’re ready to say anything just to make it stop. (My cousin drove me from Long Beach to Malibu a couple of years ago and he was watching his 2-year-old daughter at the time, so she had dibs on the entertainment.)

I’m surprised the CIA isn’t using “Who Let the Dogs Out”. Second-rate interrogators. At best.

Funny comment on the Neil Young listserv where I first found this info:

I wonder if we could get the CIA to tree this comp[ilation]? ;)
 
I’d love to hear a Barney theme > Meow mix > Bee Gees > Sesame Street medley….

(A tree being a way to distribute tradable recordings to those without bitTorrent access)
