Jeff,
It's bad enough to put Alice Cooper out there, but nauseating that they would have him sing "School's Out for Summer."
Well we got no choice,
All the girls and boys
Makin all that noise
'Cause they found new toys.
Well we can't salute ya,
Can't find a flag.
If that don't suit ya,
That's a drag.
School's out for summer.
School's out forever.
School's been blown to pieces.
No more pencils.
No more books.
No more teacher's dirty looks.
Well we got no class.
And we got no principles.
And we got no innocence.
We can't even think of a word that rhymes.
Out for summer.
Out till fall.
We might not go back at all.
I guess the organizers thought the President's name is "Bar Rock."
AJ,
I've been a Ray Price fan all of my life. He had some of the greatest players of all time--Buddy Emmons, Bobbe Seymour, etc. As a kid, I didn't know there were segregated forms of music, so I thought Ray Price, Frank Sinatra, and Nat Cole all fit together. And that's what Buddy and Bobbe play--every kind of music. Alice Cooper is just noise.
Yes, it's a joke that ASU wouldn't honor a law prof from U Chicago. And that's how Obie treated it. He made jokes about it.
But this treatment of him is what you'd expect in the state that was last to approve MLK Day.
