Apple thinks Silent Bob has too much to say

Kevin Smith, aka Silent Bob (and a feature speaker at the upcoming Macworld Expo), is one of many celebrities asked to whip up an iTunes Celebrity Playlist. Being an Apple fanboy, and one eager to promote the Clerks II DVD, he finally agreed, after having blown it off when previously asked, due to scheduling issues.

So have you seen or heard Kevin's playlist in the iTunes Store? Nope. And you are not likely to anytime soon. I'll let Kevin explain why...

"Cut to three weeks ago, when - as another promotional vehicle for the 'Clerks II' DVD - I was afforded a second bite at the iTunes apple (pun intended). [...] 'This is a great playlist,' Darin from Apple wrote. 'Too great, actually. We don't have the space for comments that run that long. Will he be OK with us editing them (significantly) or would he prefer to do that himself? Two sentences for each track is a good outline.' [...] But the idea of trimming down (significantly, apparently) that Rorschach of the Soul known as the Celebrity Playlist didn't interest me. So with no hard feelings on either behalf, I declined inclusion."

Since Apple didn't want Kevin's Playlist, he published it on his blog - full commentary intact. Check it out here. There are some great tracks there and it's quite an eclectic mix. Warning for the young'uns and those reading while at work - some of the material on Kevin's blog may not be suitable for your consumption unless your folks have gone to bed or your boss has already left for the day.
