Mrs. Henderson's Fifth Grade Projects

"This is my report on Rock and Roll. Rock and Roll is the greatest music in the world, because it was inspired by the Devil and the anguish and heartache of black culture in the American South in the early twentieth century. It took off once it was copied wholesale by a few marketable white guys whose implied sexual potency and electric guitars drove impressionable young ladies wild. Since then its inherent better-ness has helped it take over the world."

"Suzie dear, did you write this yourself?" Mrs. Henderson asked.

"Mostly. These nice people on Usenet helped a little."
