OK, so I'm leaving at the end of this term, and it's my last chance to get to know you. One regular problem for anyone who teaches, at whatever level, is that you keep getting older while the students (as a whole) remain the same. It's easy to get out of touch. For instance, I've been having a lot of blank responses to my film references lately, so I know I've got to come up with some other examples.
So here's the challenge: tell me who I should know, what I should listen to in music in order to know either YOU or your generation. Of course, these might be quite different, depending on whether you see yourself as representative or not. Either way, though, chime in. And tell me a little about why this song or that band is worth listening to.
Yours, HH
