UFO, The Best of UFO (1974-1983)



Classic rock, they call it.

Another underrated band, mayhaps lost in the shuffle of Sabbath, Zeppelin, Purple, AC/DC et al.

Key tracks: "Doctor Doctor," "Rock Bottom," & "Lights Out."

Oh, & Eddie Trunk from That Metal Show absolutely loves these guys.

Juniors:
DO NOW:
“What the words will mean to other people will depend on where they are in their lives, and what their interests are, though meaning may also be conveyed directly to their unconscious whether they consciously understand the words or not.”  --John Frusciante



Another quotation from a guitarist, not an "author" or "critic."


Another day of good expression of ideas & opinions, based on my favorite recent concept, interpretation, & the feeling-vs-meaning debate.


Also, the added benefit of a visit from a current MIT student, Zach Ybarra, who gave you some really good scoop on college.


& I'm sure many of you attended AP Night for more info on your future.


Please remember that "table":


(in no particular order)


1. academics--GPA
2. test scores (SAT, ACT, AP)
3. extracurriculars
4. interview/application letters


Sophomores:
You did 1 of these:
A1: describe a time in which you changed your mind about a song/film/TV show/book/whatever
A2: describe a time in which youo & a friend vehemently disagreed about a song/film/TV show/book/whatever
OR
B: explain the idea of liking w/out truly "consciously" understanding.


Then, we went the verb route.


"That's what's happening."


Yes, there is  major difference between the grammatically correct sentences


"I do well."


&


"I do good."


So. let's all do well on the OR tomorrow, & let's do good over the long weekend.


be cool

  2. I know what you mean, Valerie, written on that day, in that place.
    You remember.
    Also McBride, I am supposed to remind you to post a link to that essay about the future affecting the present.
