Resumes to Replace Liner Notes By 2010

Back in 1998 in Philly, Paul Green founded the Paul Green School of Rock Music, known informally as the School of Rock (and inspiration for the Jack Black mnovie of the same name). Like the name suggests, it's an academy to help teach the ambitious how, precisely, to rock out on demand and for money. Now there are campuses in a half-dozen cities, and the School sponsors two summer touring groups of its best students, the School of Rock All-Stars. This writer in Tuscon makes a good point, though: Isn't it kinda lame to go to school to learn how to rock? You're either born to rock, or not, right? Dean Green responds:

"We have lots of safeguards," explained Green. "All of our teachers are hairy, dirty, grungy rock 'n' roll types."

It's good to know that authenticity still counts for something.
