Just caught this by chance. Stringer talking to Kirsty Wank who seemed initially to confuse him with the head of Apple, reflecting modestly and genially on his interesting and successful career (decorated Vietnam vet, CBS, etc.) before he got to destroy Sony and dump the leftovers in Hirai's lap (trololololol). Some interesting insights into how hard things got in Sony in his last 'anus horribilis'. Selecting his top tunes, of course, which ran from Dvojak to Tchaikovsky to schmaltzy Broadway musicals that make you cringe in embarrassment to The Animals to that ubiquitous fat lass whose name I refuse to mention hamming up the latest James Bond theme. Catch it on BBC iplayer if you can be arsed: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pnlt4.

^ Good questions! They haven't thought it through. You allowed to have 8 tunes, and 1 book of your choice. The Complete Works of Shakespeare and The Bible are given to everyone (I'm not kidding) - so tough titty if you're a Muslim who dislikes Shakespeare. You can also have 1 'luxury' item. Stringer chose "a chair" for his luxury item - clearly a man who knows how to live!
