In my four years of taking English, I had one male teacher. That year was 95-96 I believe. One day, we did an exercise and he told us to bring in a song and explain what it means to us. I played Interstate Love Song
Heehee that reminds me I had this class about human relationships or something (an elective), and we had to bring in a love song and talk about it, so I did "Still Remains". It was terrible because the teacher was black, and 90% of the class was black (and Im
NOT being racist or saying theres anything "wrong" with that, but come on of course they didnt know who STP was, or like it). So it ended up that the teacher was a bitch over it, she was like "OOOOK, I dont see how
that was a love song, but whatever" or something like that, so me and the 3 stoner kids in the class that also loved STP ended up getting in this big argument with the rest of the class, like LOOK at the WORDS, how the hell is this NOT a fucking love song?!?!?! I didnt get a bad grade or anything, it just opened my eyes and made me feel sad for so many people, that culture has taught them the only good "love songs are" R &B or something by
Boyz to Men or
Mariah Carey and theyre all about "Lets get it on" and shit, not about actually having feelings for someone. Grrr.
