Ideas and Concepts:
Nostalgia and innocence of the 80s via tonight's History of Rock class:
"Personal Jesus was a song by the English electronic band Depeche Mode, released on August 28, 1989 as the lead single from their seventh album, Violator. The single reached No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart and in Germany, the single is one of the band's longest-charting songs, staying on the country's singles chart for 23 weeks.
It's a song about being a Jesus for somebody else, someone to give you hope and care. It's about how everybody's heart is like a god in some way.
Feeling unknown, And you're all alone, Flesh and bone, By the telephone, Lift up the receiver, I'll make you a believer, Take second best, Put me to the test, Things on your chest, You need to confess, I will deliver, You know I'm a forgiver"

Alternate personalities in Rock and Roll via this mornings's History of Rock class:
"Marshall Bruce Mathers, professionally known as Eminem, is an American entertainer and rapper. Although he plays out the persona of a famous bad boy who knows just how to get a reaction, many people including Elton John suggest that they see the intelligence and creativity in what he is doing.
In the late 1990s, Eminem adopted for his albums and performances a persona named Slim Shady, a move that had its precedences in the history of Rock, e.g. the Beatles becoming Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Jim Morrison becoming the Lizard King, and David Bowie becoming Ziggy Stardust.
In the case of Slim Shady, this persona is played out as a kind of alter ego of Eminem, the evil and mischievous side of him. Eminem raps through the point of view of Slim, a childish drug dealer, drug taker, immortal, murdering, raping scumbag, someone who makes a lot of disgusting jokes and does a good bit of horrible mischievous things."
