but what kind of rock does one have
to be under to have missed the Kent State shootings?
I went to Kent State for my M.A. ten years after, and at that time they were in the process of dropping the May 4 memorial day as a day off. The freshman were using it as a party-day holiday instead of the intended memorial day.
For myself, I didn't learn about May 4 until after my family returned to the states; we were in the process of moving overseas when it happened, and the Stars and Stripes didn't seem to spend much time on it, at least as far as I could tell. When we got back to the states I attended a civilian school in which we had to "analyze and critique" several pop songs, one being about "tin soldiers" and "four dead in Ohio."
I'm curious as to how many under age forty know what song I'm talking about...
