"Rock You Like a Hurricane" was the Scorpions. You guys may find this odd, but I started enjoying some "heavier" rock in college (Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, etc) and still do. I'm listening to Slipknot Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) in my classroom right now. (No students until Monday). I also still like to listen to AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and other "classic rock" artists.
I'm thinking that Snearly's AC/DC song was "You Shook Me All Night Long" - which starts out with the phrase "She was a sex machine / She kept her motor clean." I also remember the the turn of phrase, "She told me to come / But I was already there." Poetry.
Ok, I've got to say for the record that Orgy's cover of "Blue Monday" is crap. You can't improve over PERFECTION, especially when you're doing a psuedo-electro trendy cover. Blech.
Mike, I'm in San Francisco [I suppose that I should compose a bio...] looking for an Elementary level position - hopefully Kindergarten or 1st grade. I admire anyone who tackles high school level teaching - it would NEVER be me.
I have a vomit story about Mike Bencie, too. He and I were in the same group in our Cooking/Home Ec. class in middle school [6th grade? 7th grade]. He and I made a butterscotch pie. After only a couple of bites, Mike ralphed all over our pie.
Anyone else remember John Mishler barfing at our First Communion ceremony at the old St. Pat's?

Mike, where/what do you teach?

Eric,
I'm at Knoxville Catholic High School (Knoxville, TN). What kind of teaching job are you looking for? Do you like CA?

I actually have a picture of John barfing at our first communion! I'll see if I can find it and scan it in.
