WFMU FUNDRAISER - Songs We Taught The School of Rock
http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2009/06/school-of-rock-wfmu-benefit-.html
Last month The Paul Green School of Rock hosted two WFMU benefits--one at Asbury Lanes and one at BB King's. Paul runs a network of rock music schools for the after-school junior high and high school crowd and he's been at it successfully for quite a while. Based out of Philly, he's constantly compelled to clue his kids in to the very best music he can dig up. That still doesn't explain why he offered to set up a couple of benefits for the station based on the two ipod-less hours he spent on the Jersey Turnpike tuning in my dumb show. The caveat for bagging the dough was that I had to come up with the songs that the kids should play. I figured that junior high school already sucks so bad that I couldn't make it much worse. So one cautionary night, me and Bingo the Chimp got out the dart board and about 75 songs were selected amid much confusion...

Norwegian devils in denim Turbonegro once crooned "You wanna rock, You gotta roll, Fishing for gold in a toilet bowl". And never a truer word was spoken! In the sewer that is the world of modern music, it's hard to find a real gem by sifting through the muck to find those genuine rock rebels who will become the idols of their generation. For eleven years, musician Paul Green has worked harder than anybody in sifting and panning for musical gold through his School of Rock located in Philadelphia, USA. Through rigorous training, blood, sweat and tears, he's made damned sure that kids who live for rock learn how to roll! And thats exactly what we're going to see them do at MADE.

Raise your hand if this was you: Your mom nagged you about practicing the piano; your parents bought you a drum set, but it didn't have a high-hat; the only songs your music teacher taught were classical and not anything you'd be caught actually listening to. No wonder none of us grew up to be rock stars. But there is hope for future generations, thanks to a fast-growing franchise based in Philadelphia aptly named the Paul Green School of Rock. Matt Ross played a little guitar himself before becoming president of The School of Rock. "We're changing the paradigm," says Matt Ross, president of the School of Rock. Not only are kids playing music they like, but they live the rock star dream - performing live to a large audience. After they take a private lesson, students return a second time each week to practice with their fellow band members for an upcoming show. "With a concert date on the calendar, they work harder, learn quicker," Ross says. And they look forward to it. "How many 14-year-olds get together and say, 'Let's go to my house and practice Mozart together," he asks. Point well taken. Students play loud music by the likes of The Who and Led Zepplin, "with an electric guitar in hand."

Eric and Julie have been touring with Adrian Belew as part of his power trio since 2007, and the reviews have been unbelieveable. Of all the great things that have happened to the school over the years, this one makes me the proudest. - PG
