22B422 Pt. 18: Teen Anthems

Have you ever been in high school? Do you go to Carleton College? You should probably take EDUC 344 with Deborah Appleman, where you get to study high school and teen angst and all the other things that make life worth living. There's a slightly insane number of books that we read per week, but the class makes up for it by starting every day with a teen anthem. Our list so far has included:

- "Baba O'Riley", by The Who

- "No Such Thing," by John Mayer (not his best, but I freaked out enthusiastically regardless)

- "Jack and Diane," by John Mellencamp

- "Fast Car," by Tracy Chapman (I think I've described previously how hard it was not to cry)

- "At Seventeen," by Janis Ian

- "Maria, Maria," by Santana w/ Wyclef and a bunch of other people

- "Waterfalls," by TLC

- "Born This Way," by Lady Gaga
