Jackson was an American enigma. He began the modern party system, he relocated Native Americans ruthlessly, was a war hero, and a man's man too. You either love him or you hate him…there is no in between.

That's about when I began to like it too..mid-late 90s. I was never really a fan of the old school country people like my dad was, although my parents took me to a bluegrass festival in Vermont when I was a kid and I really liked it. I like Garth, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Tim McGraw, Brooks & Dunn, that era and later because that's when I started learning guitar too. C&W began going pop/top 40 around then too, but some of these newer people like Brad Paisley and Lady A are bringing it back to authentic country.Kentucky Headhunters. Did you ever hear their song Feed Jake? I'll go OT like scout did. Currently I am addicted to Led Zeppelin's Rain Song. The acoustic guitar in it is beautiful and I've been trying to learn it this past month. O2 Arena, here I come!
It is the Spring time of my loving, the second season I am to know.You are the sunlight in my growing, so little warmth I felt before.It isn't hard to feel me glowing. I watched the fire that grew so low.It is the Summer of my smiles, flee from me keepers of the gloom.Speak to me only with your eyes, it is to you I give this tune.It isn't hard to recognize. These things are clear to all from time to time.I felt the coldness of my Winter, I thought that it would never go.I cursed the gloom that set upon us, But I know, I love you so. And I know, I love you so.These are the seasons of emotion, and like the wind they rise and fall.This is a wonder of devotion. I see the torch we all must hold, and people this is the mystery of the quotient...Upon us all, a little rain must fall...just just just a little rain.
Alright, as perhaps the only philosophy major here, I must interject and take the mic for a moment. ;D I don't think that metaphysics is about the "unknowable", but about what we can know about the things which are the most true in the universe - reason, knowledge, truth, etc. I would say that metaphysics forms the cornerstone of Western thought, and so should be included in curricula.
I concur. 🙂
Maybe we should start a movement to reintroduce the classical Liberal Arts curriculum in Western Schools. Seems to me that that system turned out quite a few bright individuals that made scientific and other discoveries that have made everyday life immeasurably better. I cant think of a single practical application for women's/any other minority or ethnic group studies. I can think of plenty of practical uses for traditional history/humanities and the hard sciences though. There is even a place for traditional philosophy though I personally would get rid of most metaphysics. Metaphysics belongs in the seminary and not a traditional school. I have never understood how it is possible to study the unknowable.
How do you know it's unknowable?
Practically speaking, I dont think you can do much with a degree in Classics unless you have a PhD and even then you are confined to doing academics and research. Not that I think it is a bad thing, I just don't think there are many schools out there that still teach the Classics in any kind of depth. I think that is a crying shame BTW, the Classics are a part of Western Heritage we ignore or forget at our own peril. I read quite a few of the Classics in high school but then, I took four years of Latin and we used many Classics as texts after Sophomore year.
Not unless you are going to teach Latin or Greek.
Seems I remember Jimmy Page used to wear a jump suit with a snake coiling around his legs for his concert attire. But he was into black magic and Aleister Crowely. What was Elizabeth into I wonder?
Garbanzo Ancient History is a hard field to make a living in. The only way you could apply it would be for World Civilization classes at the high school level. You would be better served to major in American or Canadian History (if you live in Canada) and then teach an elective in World Civilization if the school system allows you.
