Review # 1 was written on 2012-12-15 00:00:00 Jeremy Cook I thought it was an interesting read. Though it was not terribly radical in viewpoint, it brought up the perspectives of minority groups throughout the text. I also appreciated the author's critical viewpoint of educations aims and results. I'm just happy to have a bit more of a grasp on the history of Canadian education.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-02-26 00:00:00 Joseph Graziano Pretty much the big bang for those who like to plug their music collection into their book collection and let the two comingle, cohabit, collude and co-depend. I've always believed that somewhere Geoffrey Chaucer and Slim Harpo, Christina Rosetti and Iris DeMent, Jelly Roll Morton and Sheherezade, Geeshy Wiley and The Book of Kells, Zoot Horn Rollo and Thomas Traherne share the same chords even as they spin distinct threnodies. Yes, I agree, Greil Marcus is a waffling, grating self-parody of a tall-foreheaded fierce rock crit whose favourite obsessions are painfully predictable (Robert Johnson, Randy Newman, Elvis for starters). His later books you would have to pay me in unmarked bills to read, but this one was very cool for its time and the time I read it, so hey Greil, you may be male and oh so pale but this wasn't a fail.
