Dear GYA, Whoopdy doo -- who cares if President Obama released his workout playlist? Seriously, Al Green? The Rolling Stones? Jay-Z? Those guys are lame. I released a playlist, too, and you can bet your ass it's filled with American rock & roll like Nickelback, Our Lady Peace and a live concert album by Sum 41.--- Anything happening this weekend where I can mosh out while I workout? -- Paul Ryan
