Burning Cubs Question: Volume 3

In this popular, semi-monthly segment, we examine questions in regards to the Cubs that are literally burning in people's brains. Have no fear...we're here to provide the bucket of water to douse that fire, although I fear your burns may prove to be fatal anyway.
This week's question comes from Steve in Baton Rouge, La.:
I grew up in Baton Rouge, just like Ryan Theriot. I've been following his career, and he's the one ballplayer that I would love to have a beer with. That will probably never happen, so I pose this question: what is on Ryan Theriot's iPod?
We caught up with Ryan at the batting cage a few days ago. As one might guess, he is an avid user of the iPod, primarily when he's jogging or lifting weights with Mike Fontenot. Ryan was heading into the clubhouse for a team meeting, so he let us borrow his Nano in order to peruse it's contents (as long as we didn't use his ear buds).
Steve, I'm going to go out on a limb here and tell you that you do not share Ryan's musical interests. When we pulled up the Artists, only two were found; Conway Twitty and Mariah Carey. Believing that this could not really be the case, we checked his Playlists. There were numerous Playlists with titles such as 'Batting Practice Mix', 'Playstation Mix', 'Airplane Mix', and 'Christmas Mix'. We pulled up 'Batting Practice Mix' under the assumption that he had just been listening to it. Oddly, the mix was entirely composed of Conway Twitty songs. Upon further investigation, it seemed to be a collection of hits from Twitty's height of popularity in the late 1970's to early '80's. The 'Airplane Mix' was also strictly Twitty, largely pulled from his recordings on the MGM and Decca labels in the 1960's. The 'Christmas Mix' fared somewhat worse, as it was simply that Mariah Carey Christmas album from back in the 1990's.
We hope this answer was somewhat satisfying, Steve. Remember, everyone has their own musical tastes, and we should always be open-minded to recommendations by others.
