Introducing the iPope

The Pope has an iPod Nano, according to The Catholic News Service. He was given it as a gift by Vatican Radio employees. To get him off to a good start, it has been loaded with classical music, a documentary on Mozart and most bizarrely news snippets about the death of Pope John Paul II and the election of the current Pope. Pope Benedict is said to have said: "Computer technology is the future."
We think they missed a trick here. Computer technology is the future, and classical music has its place. But surely pop and rock music are the future (or at least part of it) too. We think his iPod should have been pre-loaded with Angels by Robbie Williams and God Only Knows by the Beach Boys. And the whole thing should have been kicked off with a new version of M's 80s hit: New York, London, Paris, Munich, everybody talk about... Pope Music.
