Schoolhouse Rock
kicks your ass, man. I was still a
toddler when they went
off the air so I am deprived of memories of most of these songs. But
as luck would have it, there is a substantial
market for
nostalgia and there are lots of Schoolhouse Rock cds and videos for sale all over the place. Yes, I own a copy of
Schoolhouse Rock Rocks. It is pretty damn cool.
