Next time, instead of handing out snark, hand them a brochure for the <a href="http://www.schoolofrock.com/index.php">Paul Green School of Rock Music</a>! Before you know it, <a href="http://www.schoolofrock.com/video.php">you'll be wishing that you had a bigger lawn</a>. Since <a href="http://www.citypaper.net/images/articles/2008/02/14/big/musicpicks-1.jpg">Paul Green</a> founded <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paul_Green_School_of_Rock_Music">the school</a> in Philadelphia in 1998, kids ages 7 to 17 in <a href="http://schoolofrockbucks.com/">cities</a> <a href="http://schoolofrockde.com/">all</a> <a href="http://www.city-data.com/profiles/4439">over</a> <a href="http://www.schoolofrock.com/findaschool.php">the</a> <a href="http://www.schoolofrock.com/franchiseinfo.php">USA</a> have been invited to live out their <s>parents'</s> dreams: to be in a <a href="http://www.citypaper.net/articles/2008/02/14/paul-green-school-of-rock-allstars-with-gibby-haynes">rock band</a>. <a href="http://www.upenn.edu/gazette/0103/0103pro3.html">Paul Green's story</a> has spawned a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_School_%28film%29">documentary</a> (which explores the <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/rock_school/#synopsis">bi-polar nature of his teaching style</a>), and has inspired a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_of_Rock">popular movie</a> (directed by Richard Linklater and starring Jack Black). The curriculum draws from a variety of rock styles, from the ubiquitous Led Zeppelin to the Damned, Captain and Tenielle to Devo, System of a Down to Nena, RATM to P-Funk. I've selected the following examples from the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=PGSORM&search_type=">massive amount</a> of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Paul+Green+School&search_type=">footage available</a> on YouTube to illustrate the variety of styles taught and performed, the different levels of talent, and the overall spirit of the whole she'bop. (Plus, seeing kids sing inappropriate lyrics they may not fully understand is a kick, too.)
