4 Year Plan

That's Professor Lowery to you:

Hilarious. I had a drunken but very in-depth convo about T.S. Eliot with Prof. Lowery at a CVB show in Columbia SC in 1988. I'll be interested to hear how he incorporates the lessons he gleaned from me that night into the curriculum here. "April is the cruelest month in which to release a sophomore album"?

He's got a solo album out too. I smell cross promotion.

I'm surprised by this. How can he fill a whole semester's curriculum when he pretty much packed his industry exegesis into the razor-sharp 4-5 minutes that constitutes "It Ain't Gonna Suck Itself"? Now *that* is a lesson in major-label contortions. Listen to it twice, students, and write a 30-page paper (APA format) by finals week.
