We have already done this! She just gave us a lengthy and arcane spreadsheet. It was awesome.

Sorry about the delay, btw guys, internet went down on the entire campus today (?!).

"Tupac really was a big softie, his record company made him do all that thug stuff. Read interviews with the rappers, they'll tell you that the execs will turn them away if their lyrics aren't violent or misogynistic enough!"

"Kurt Cobain & Zach De La Rocha (Rage Against the Machine) had a lto in common, in that they both wanted their music to be a revolutionary call to political consciousness."

PLZ TO EMAIL ME LENGTHY AND ARCANE SPREADSHEET PLZ PLZ

"Kid Rock was really the 90s version of John Lennon, and 'Bawitdaba' was his 'Give Peace a Chance.'"

btw guys in case you are curious, here are the transcribed lyrics of the opening 1.5 minutes of "Bawitdaba," according to my course packet paid for in part by the citizens of the State of Texas.

Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogie said up jump the boogie

^ your tax dollars at work, people

I will have to scan spreadsheet etc etc but I will do my due diligence or whatever it's called.

"Of course, as we all know, Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopez left us in 1994 in a plane crash."

also can we please note that Bawitdaba actually sounded kind of awesome on auditorium speakers

"'Sing for the Moment' was really Eminem's artistic peak."

also can we please note that Bawitdaba actually is on awesome.

hoos making this shit up. she did not say that left eye shit.

"The black panther portion of 'Black or White' was really MJ expressing his frustration at separatists within the black community."

^ this would be fascinating if true, and i'm not sure, can anyone verify this

hoos making this shit up. she did not say that left eye shit.

ok you're taking the piss now!

"Kid Rock was really the 90s version of John Lennon, and 'Bawitdaba' was his 'Give Peace a Chance.'"

"Of course, as we all know, Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopez left us in 1994 in a plane crash."

Ok, I'm starting to think this is a hoax along the lines of that "I'm going to listen to some crap Sisters of Mercy 12" mix 1000 times in a row wish me luck" thread.

The first "factoid" sounds like it came out of a John Waters movie. And my nine year old niece could google the facts of Left Eye's death in two seconds. This is starting to smell fishy.

It's weird cause sometimes she'll say some really penetrating and insightful stuff about, say, "Anarchy in the U.K.," but then she follows it up with something 0_o like the Left Eye thing.

Guys this is all 1000% legit I shit you not. I will scan in copies of my handwritten transcriptions with some scanner somewhere.

"Kid Rock was really the 90s version of John Lennon, and 'Bawitdaba' was his 'Give Peace a Chance.'"

Her argument here was that "Bawitdaba" was really about how we all needed to learn to "love someone," no matter how unsavory they might seem on the outside.

"Of course, as we all know, Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopez left us in 1994 in a plane crash."

I chalked that one up to a verbal slip, cause we listened to "Unpretty" and it said "1999" in gigantic font on a huge screen. And maybe she was mixing up Left Eye with Aaliyah?

ok that would make sense

also plz take sanskrit up on the videocam offer

It's weird cause sometimes she'll say some really penetrating and insightful stuff about, say, "Anarchy in the U.K."

Well, what did she say about it?

And if you're lying, you have an extremely successful career in comedy ahead of you.

except that neither aaliyah nor left eye died in 1994. she basically combined the deaths of left eye, aaliyah and kurt cobain.

She also read us an apparent quote from Cobain at age 14, "I'm gonna grow up and be a rock star and then kill myself."

Does anybody have any idea where the hell this is documented?
