Amen to that, brother! Thank god for rock n/ roll and living in a country where you can get paid to play music. See, I love America, don't get me wrong. But there's a lot we need to change about it. Problem is, the schools reflect the worst part of our society, the whole competitive thing that produces winners and losers. So we can't change the schools until our society as a whole changes. And more rigorous testing is not going to do it, despite what the big-wigs in charge seem to think. We need to be working on all fronts to change it. And conversations like this can only help, because it gets people thinking: maybe there IS something wrong with our society and our schools . . .
