My senior English teacher LOVED Sonic Youth. It totally caught me by surprise. But for the rest of the year I really respected her for being so different than all the other middle aged teachers at my school. Her politcal and artistic tastes were very admirable. Besides her, I only know one other female who likes Sonic Youth. She's on;y 15 and she still likes some shitty music, but thank God (Hendrix) that I introduced her to SY, Pixies, Flaming Lips and Built to SPill. Otherwise she'd be listening to Good Charlotte and Green Day. I may have well saved her life from mediocrity.
