We go into much more depth about the plays and lyrics/lines from both artists' works in this video. The full version is available on PATREON (first 30 days free), so if you want more reminiscing and Dad jokes, you know where to go!

    As someone with B.A. in English (and a Masters in Library & Info Science) two things I hated in retrospect about the English education I received was 1) there was not a single foundational/intro course about proper grammar-I guess it was just assumed we received that education in high school and 2) very very limited course options for learning how to write. So basically the entire four years was just reading a shit ton of novels 🙄

Thanks to him for that! We need more scholars who are not snobish and so they can appreciate the literary worth of good lyrics in pop songs. Thank you, professor, sooo much!

      @@Black-Rose12 No, providing willing financial support isn't abandonment. Not having anything to do with your family is. It's possible the professor was being sarcastic, but unlikely since Shakespeare split his time between London and Stratford-Upon-Avon. So this goes back to what I said before that living apart from your family due to a job isn't abandonment.
