What would be on Jean-Paul Sartre's Walkman?

[Bossy Monkey]

Poll question: What would be on Jean-Paul Sartre's Walkman?

I'm guessing that the guy who said "Other people are hell" would probably be huge into personal stereo if he were alive (and in his prime) today. So whatchasay?

17. Question B: Would J-P have adumbrated existentialism

if he'd had cool tunes? I'm thinking no, but maybe this is a cynical attitude towards personal stereo. (Actually, I've been much more productive since I got my mp3 player, somewhat undercutting my argument.)
