He repeats the same notes over and over again?

Dr. Greg Graffin, Ph.D., and lead singer of Bad Religion is not impressed.

Brian May, The huge haired guitarist from queen finished his PhD in physics a few years ago, I wonder if he is teaching now?

Graffin teaches at UCLA when he's not touring or recording.

Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again ?

he's got a mustache
he wears a trenchcoat
he's got a mustache
he wears black tights
he writes poetry
he wears black lipstick
under his mustache

he's got a rollercoaster haircut
he dyes it jet black
when his hair is really brown
just like his mustache
he wants to be robert smith
but with a mustache
he's a farking art fag
he's got a mustache

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

I'm depressed just thinking about that course.

Well after reading this, Heaven knows I'm miserable now.

Friend had Graffin as a professor, said he was boring as shiat.

olapbill: Well after reading this, Heaven knows I'm miserable now.

olapbill? William?

It was really nothing.

Geddy Lee & Neil Peart taught Introduction to Tea Bagging for Plushies at a comic convention a few years ago so it's not unheard of.

/Can't wait for the world's 9 Rush fans to show up!

I'm sure that course would be boring enough to put my girlfriend in a coma.

olapbill: Well after reading this, Heaven knows I'm miserable now.

But at least you have a job.

James Cassidy, bassist for Information Society, is currently a professor of soil science at Oregon State University.

Hugo Burnham, founder of Gang of Four, is currently an instructor at The New England Institute of Art.

John Lay, former manager of Squeeze (and later Jools Holland) works there also.

/NEIA is cool spot

It would make me less anxious to take the course.

TypoFlyspray: I'm sure that course would be boring enough to put my girlfriend in a coma.

Stop me if you've heard this one before...

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way

Just taking this opportunity to call bullshiat on TFA's reference to Brian Eno taking a piss in Marcel Duchamp's Fountain, which he claims to have done while the work was on display at MoMA in 1995.

He claims to have inserted a thin plastic tube into the seam of the glass display case in which the sculpture was displayed, then pumped urine through the tube, past the glass, and into the urinal itself.

Couple problems with this: the piece isn't part of MoMA's collection, and as such would have been under higher security than the majority of work displayed there (especially in the mid-90s, after another Duchamp piece, Bicycle Wheel, had been nearly stolen from the display floor). MoMA doesn't use split-glass display cases, and didn't in the 90s, either. And none of the 1995 exhibitions at MoMA featured the piece. There was a guy who urinated on Fountain, but it was in Rome, in 1993, and by someone other than Eno.

Cute little fib, though.

He must be looking very old tonight.

I came here to make a Smiths pun and instead was greeted with Greg Graffin!

I love Fark.

/it's progress
//in red, white, and blue

On the other hand, suppose you were a former student of Gallagher, or Steve Mizerak, or Sting? Would anyone believe you?

It makes none.

Now, Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before, but the Headmaster Ritual at this university would make me Oscillate Wildly... I would get Nowhere Fast and probably just Panic like a Girl Afraid.

/I'd write more but I Started Something I Couldn't Finish.

I'm an Occassional Visiting Professor of Applied Narcotics at the University of Please Yourself California, so I'm really getting a kick out of this...

Came here for the Greg Graffin comments. I'm never disappointed in Fark.

My public speaking professor in college was in The Warriors, he was Vermin.

novschmozkapop: James Cassidy, bassist for Information Society, is currently a professor of soil science at Oregon State University.

I want to know what he's thinking.

Sir leads the troops, jealous of youth, same old suit since 1962...

///Still can't believe Morrissey turned down $100M to reform The Smiths

A lot of folks here really enjoyed your lab, I bet.

If that rock and roll band thing he is in fails, he can always fall back on that.

Was it this one?

...he may be partially deaf so you can crack jokes in a muffled tone at his expense?

/hangovers and large classes don't mix

He's doing part-time postdoc work at Imperial with no lecturing responsibilities.

Modest Mouse.

Basically, what I got from that article is that a class called "Sociology of the Beatles" actually exists. I would be all over that. I'd take and retake it.

/kind of obsessed with the Beatles

In high school, I had the bassist for CKY as a substitute teacher. Close enough, right?

According to me dad's experience at a live show, the young ladies were yelling so loud it was nearly impossible to hear the actual performance. Carry on with the geekdom angle...

Heh. That's my faculty adviser. Really cool person from the few times I've sat down and talked to him.

If you must comment in a Fark thread, the words you use should be your own. Don't plagiarize or take on loan.

I wouldn't give 2 monkeys' farks who my professor is, as long as he does a good teaching job. However I DID transfer to a university to study under a famous archaeologist, but he transferred to TCU right before I got there.

I'm just pleased to see he's been working with Neil Finn again. Finn's 2001 shows which included Marr were very good if the DVD is any indication (Seven Worlds Collide). Ed O'Brien and Phil Selway were among the others involved in that, and I think I read that they were both participating in this new project, too.

Q. If your university lecturer used to be the guitarist in The Smiths, what difference would it make?

A. None. Next farking question.
