I don't know what it is about the last few days, I've just been listening to that album a lot. Especially Road to Joy. I think it's just that I really love political music. Somehow it goes with my teaching style, which, based on today's class on Brown, is approximately 70% leftist political rant (%40 race, 20% class, 10% antiwar, 'cause there's always room for that), 20% legal theory, and 10% random mentions of Republicans doing something awesome or Democrats being sinister (easy enough to find examples of that), just because I like to confuse them. Hey, when did I stop talking about gender? The irony! I guess I have next week's lesson plan done now.
I would also like to officially thank E. for turning me on to Feist, the official musical sponsor of my grading last weekend.
my favorite 'confuse the undergrads' moment was talking up how much Hitler did for Germany, and how much Stalin did for Russia, economically. That was fun. :) Papers - okay. :) They're kinda cute since they make so many basic English mistakes.
