use your mentality/wake up to reality

Some of my favorite academic moments were when my professors/teachers allowed us to analyze music, relate it to whatever we were studying, and write papers about it.
Honestly, the experience was very valuable because now I consciously choose the music I listen to based on outcomes of my personal analysis rather than the songs "just sounding good."
I might not agree with all the messages my favorite artists are eminating through their music (ie Billy Bragg), but I applaud them for creating tunes have much more value than just "sounding good."
David, keep up the good work and don’t stop playing the tunes in your classroom. P.S. A little birdie who calls herself Sarah told me that you’re an excellent English teacher!
I wish more of us thought about and analyzed the world around us like my fellow board contributors….
