Please. . . Just Shoot Me Now

"Can one really compare the works of Robert Frost, one of America's most lyrical poets, with the edgy words of rapper Eminem? " So asks this article in today's Lost Angels Crimes that covers a conference of 400 educators in Los Angeles who are being encouraged to use Rap as a teaching tool.
"Erica Carducci, 23, a student teacher at Dorsey High School in Los Angeles, said she has begun introducing hip-hop songs in her freshman classes this year, comparing Frost's "The Road Not Taken" to Eminem's "Lose Yourself," which both address the challenge of making a choice."
My little horse must think it queer, indeed!!!
