Hearing Bringin' on the Heartbreak -- Def Leppard!

Best. Rock Criticism. EVER.


Fifth-graders listen to Radiohead. Are encouraged to draw how the music makes them feel. The next day, parents in San Leandro, California are wondering why little Timmy and Cindy are asking for anti-depressants.

Really, you have to see this. Speaking as a professional music critic, I just about died from amusement.

    Loved the article. I must be one of those living under a rock. Ive heard of radiohead but couldn't name a song. I'm sure I've heard them on the radio-most likely didn't like them.
