Heath Ledger’s iPod serves as a living memory

todayshow.jpgAs Batman: The Dark Knight Returns opens nationwide, there have been a lot of comments about the late actor, Heath Ledger, who passed away just after the conclusion of the film’s shooting.

Valleywag noticed that in a recent edition of The Today Show, Aaron Eckhart, a co-star in the film, talked about Ledger’s iPod and his friends’ relationship to it:

I told a little story about Heath’s iPod. Whenever we went into the trailer we’d say “Whose iPod is this?” Because it would always be some wacked-out music nobody had ever heard of before. And it was Heath’s. And that iPod has since become a symbol of Heath and his friends pass it around to each other, download the music and then pass it on.

Snarky comments about actors promoting music piracy aside, I guess I’d never considered someone’s playlist a reflection of who they are, but I suppose in a lot of ways, it is. I suppose I should make sure that someone has my iTunes Account password before I pass on so they can enjoy stuff that I bought too.

Just a minor nitpick regarding the opening line of the article: The movie's name is "The Dark Knight." "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" is the name of the Frank Miller graphic novel. :)
