In my daily boppings about the internet, I came across an article with President Obama's Spotify playlist. What I noticed was the only artist listed twice was Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish fame. You may recall deep in the 90's Monica on Friends got a hickey from a Blowfish. I assume it was the one with the really long hair. The only conclusion I can draw here is clear. Obama is a HUGE Hootie fan, not so much the Blowfish. And Monica is a Blowfish groupie (a 'grouper' perhaps, it goes nicely with the fish theme). There is a conspiratorial link there, and it involves secret Illuminati messages in Cougar Town, but I can't tell you anything else. Here is the playlist for your perusal.
