There’s really nothing like asking your student why he has
been suspended for the past couple of weeks and hear that it’s because he
brought a crack pipe to school. And it’s
even better when he, in a rather nonplussed manner, says that it’s going to add
two more years to his probation. What’s
probably worse was my reaction when I told him that he probably should have
left the pipe at home. But it’s easy for
me to say oh well and carry on. I don’t
say this to make myself sound like a shitty teacher, but I’ve done this long
enough to know that I’m not going to talk a crackhead out of smoking
crack. They like crack. And who am I to judge? Just like I like this album and I’ve met a
few people that just do not like this band.
But I don’t foresee how they are going to convince me of anything other
than how much this album rules. I can’t
stand by all their work (especially the dancey stuff) but the early post-punk
industrial cuts are aces. Adventurous,
yet accessible, these tunes continue to deliver even after all these years.
