This blog, which started years ago as Room 210 Discussion, focuses on the music and performers from rock and country in the '50s, '60s, and '70s, with an occasional stop in the '80s. It will feature stories, news, trivia, video and audio, and occasionally videos by Natural Disaster, the band I was with from 2002 through 2012.

No way, that will never work, if they try to take away recess, they will lower the test scores, not raise them. The kids won't be able to focus unless they get some down time.
