The president’s second term starts next week, and he’s released a 17-song playlist on Spotify in order to celebrate it. Included in it are Alicia Keys, Smokey Robinson, Brad Paisley and Stevie Wonder. Not bad. The one complaint I have is that he included “The Edge of Glory” by the Glee Cast, and not the far superior original. You can hear the playlist here, and view the playlist below.
