Thoughts on David Bowie

One class and I had a debate about who
 to pronounce his last name; it turned out we were both right. 

   I also used his Heroes, which is at the top of my favorite songs. The concept of heroism has undergone some transformations, and usually they are not that positive. But the song did get students to think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBuwC4VJi50
