Teachers Rock

Brownsville Station and Motley Crue both pleaded, "Teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules,," Alice Cooper seemed more than happy to discover that "school's out for summer," and Pink Floyd saw teachers with their "dark sarcasm in the classroom" as little more than "Another Brick In The Wall."

Fair enough, but I know quite a number of teachers who love to rock.  For me, it's about life, loud and proud.  It's about the exuberance of living boldly, and nothing captures that better than the rock, hard rock, and classic rock of the '60s and '70s, which found their pinnacle in the metal of the '80s.  So enjoy this new blog and come along with me as this educator indulges his hobby of rock 'n' roll by exploring videos, band news, classic albums, new releases, deep cuts, rarities, memorabilia, and more from our favorite artists.  The comment box is open!

So let's get started.  Which of these anthems really captures the spirit of why you want it "loud, right between the eyes," and turned up to 11?


Stryper, "Rock The Hell Out Of You"



Twisted Sister, "I Wanna Rock"



Whitesnake, "Children Of The Night"



Def Leppard, "Rock Of Ages"



Bon Jovi, "Let It Rock"
