Commentary

When Pink Floyd’s song “Another Brick in the Wall” was popular, I didn’t like it. The grammatical construction of the lyrics was aggressively wrong, and the whole thing struck me as a dangerous paean to ignorance. I never liked those kids who were “too cool for school.” In general, the song came across to me as a sign of cultural rot.
