Life in Seven Songs

Longtime journalist and media entrepreneur Kara Swisher has been covering Silicon Valley and the Internet since the days of dial-up. She’s taken nearly all of technology's titans to task with a fearless, no-nonsense style. But in this episode, she shows another side of herself: the “San Francisco liberal lesbian who loves country music and wanted to be in the military.” Here are her songs.

3. Corner Of The Sky – John Rubinstein


4. Landslide – Fleetwood Mac


5. Jesus, Take the Wheel – Carrie Underwood
