The Vatican's Playlist

The Vatican recently released a playlist on their Myspace music page.

Some notable selections are Tupac's Changes and Muse's uprising.

Here are some songs I would add to the list.

Neil Young - Rockin' In The Free World
The Call - Believe, Walls Came Down
Xzibit - Heart of a Man
Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire
Insert a U2 song -- which I'm surprised is not on the list

I'm sure one could think of more, those were a few off the top of my head. It's really interesting that even institutions such as The Vatican are now involving themselves in social media. It is becoming the great equalizer in communications, where everyone has access to each other in some form or another. A revolution in the structure of communication for sure.

EDIT* Boston's Higher Power just came on my Winamp shuffle. A great tune to add to that list.

Yawning Good For The Brain
