It is the story of Paul Green's School of Rock in Philadelphia. He runs it as an after-school program for kids who want to learn rock music. Although he welcomes kids of all music levels, he places very high expectations and demands on them. I was frankly astonished at the level of music done by his top level band. He decided his top kids should Unknownnoreply@blogger.com143tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025680.post-54214580719895099702007-10-09T19:03:00.001-04:002007-10-09T19:03:44.297-04:00Against the idols of our age.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025680.post-68031729364841398462007-09-16T16:38:00.001-04:002007-09-16T16:38:56.617-04:00My favorite song of the moment.

Something to think about. I think it is worthwhile to consider how local economies might benefit from such policies. So many countries these days struggle with unemployment due to not having infrastructure and trained labor to compete globally. A trade of inefficient production for increased (and more varied) employment might very well be a good idea.
