On That Note: School Days

[Cupped]

Steeley Dan, Reelin' in the Years

The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand

The lead guitarist, Glen Buxton, spent his final days living in Clarion. I may or may not have smoked joints with him from time to time and listened to him tell some amazing stories, many of which involved his good friend Jim Morrison.

Weird science
Not what teacher said to do

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries

 

[Joe4Cy]

Then you learn the lessons
Taught in school
Won’t be enough

Dan Fogelberg, Same Old Lang Syne

Just for a moment, I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain

And I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a B-grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and I was free

So, how did he end up living in Clarion. Seems kind of random.

Bob Dylan, Like a Rolling Stone


Ah, you've gone to the finest school
All right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get
Juiced in it

My friend Ian's dad talked him into moving up to Iowa for a change of scenery. They were friends and classmates down in Phoenix in the 60's.

When I was a dumb high school kid, I made a parody of this song and called it "She Blinded Me With Social Studies." Stupid.

Rolling Stones, Happy...

Well, I never kept a dollar past sunset
Always burned a hole in my pants
Never made the school mama happy
Never blew a second chance, oh no




An interesting cover of Like a Rolling Stone I dont remember seeing before...

They Might Be Giants has released four children’s albums, three have an education theme, so would fit this OTN well.

This is a track from “Here Come the 123s.”

“An English teacher from Vancouver / Asked me to write something for her students.”

 

[cyclones500]

“I study nuclear science, I love my classes / I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses”
