"Underfoot the ground is patched with climbing arms of ivy wrapped around the Manzanita that is shiny in the breeze;

William Tell has stretched his bow till it won’t stretch no further more and though it may require a change it hasn’t done before"

[mrhankeyfan]

In my AP World History class in high school, we had a project where we had to do an analysis of a song with "relevant historical content". I picked this song, bullshitted for about 5 minutes about St. Stephen being the first recognized martyr for the Christian church, and got an A.

I just wanted an excuse to play this song in front of a bunch of weenies in my AP class and blow their minds. Mission accomplished!

[laxdoug1269]

@mrhankeyfan

ive done similar at school it rocksss

[Sanernando]

@mrhankeyfan As a 53 year old former history teacher, I say well done.

[orbgetar]

@mrhankeyfan So, were you discounting the actual first martyr for the Christian church, which would have been Christ? Not that I'm religious, but... LOL.. seems funny that the actual 'first' generation martyrs (Paul included) are not recognized.. other than that, the Dead ROCK.

[ruzz3ii]

@mrhankeyfan St. Steven got stoned to death, didn't he?

[sirlovemehard]

@mrhankeyfan Awesome... Keep Truckin' !!!

[misterpaul1971]

@mrhankeyfan  Hahahaha. Great

[oooowwwwdddd]

@mrhankeyfan - Did you serve Blue Cheer as an appetizer before your presentation?

[GBA490TEAM2]

@mrhankeyfan

I had the exact same project for the exact same class in HS. I chose Deal, did the same thing, and got the same grade.

Nerd minds were blown.

[musikfanat]

@mrhankeyfan Actually, this IS what this song and the Eleven is about, the Eleven being the disciples that remained after Judas killed himself. I saw them do this album in '69...

[mauinaishkiter]

@mrhankeyfan WTF??!!

[marotheck]

@mrhankeyfan did you play this version of the song?
