Alum responds to Gil Scott Heron |
Nor'easters and New England | |||
|
A
collective sigh of relief escaped the mouths of Bowdoin students
on Tuesday when we were informed that classes would not be canceled.
Whew! A resounding victory for the forces of knowledge! |
I
am a graduate of the Class of 1978 and cannot tell you how pleased
I was to read that Item No. 34 of the Orient's own Top 100 Rock
'n Roll list featured "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" by
Gil Scott Heron. I enjoyed listening to the quasi-rock, quasi-jazz,
quasi-pre-rap sound of Gil Scott Heron, not only from my room at
the Pine Street Apartments, but also at Theta Delta Chi, and in
Coleman Hall. |
"What's
a 'nor'easter'?" one of my friends asked at dinner the other night.
Some people at the table thought it seemed like a silly question.
"It's a big storm that forms over the ocean…obviously…duh!" they
replied. |
