I know you're several years younger than me, but was Schoolhouse Rock already off TV when you were a kid? I remember watching it on Saturday mornings between cartoons. I even have a CD called "Schoolhouse Rock Rocks!", which has about a dozen of the songs performed by rock bands. Blind Melon's version of "Three Is A Magic Number" is a particular favourite of mine. "My Hero Zero" by the Lemonheads, Daniel Johnston's "Unpack Your Adjectives" and Deluxx Folk Implosion's "I'm Just A Bill" are good too. (I'm not as fond of Moby's version of "Verb: That's What's Happening," though.) Obviously several of them talked about American history and government, but the songs were catchy.
As for the paper you're writing - did you see tonight's Leaf game? The national anthem was sung by a 13-year-old girl - in Cree.
