This afternoon, while drinking hot chocolate, my 8-year-old son, Aleks, didn't know who the Beatles were. We're not the biggest Beatles fans in the world, but it reminded me of a joke I once heard:A: They're Beatles lyrics, aren't they?
B: I don't know. Sorry.
A: Of course you do. Everyone is born knowing Beatles' lyrics instinctively. They're passed into the fetus along with all the amniotic stuff. In fact, they should be called The Fetals.
When repeated, my son didn't get the joke either. So it occurred to me that what we really need is a YouTube playlist to walk us through the history of Rock N' Roll. We homeschool, so we have plenty of time to watch YouTube videos. It also occurred to me that different folks might design different playlists. This is perfect. This means we can make it a contest.
All you have to do is create a playlist of YouTube videos either by listing them and submitting the list via email, or by creating a playlist on YouTube for public sharing (and submitting the link to the playlist link in the comments here, on the Facebook event page or by email). You'll need a YouTube account for this latter option. See this tutorial.
The prize is yet undecided, but will be homemade by Aleks and I. All participants will receive a certificate of thanks. Feel free to share.
All submissions should be sent with a name and contact information by 11:59 pm March 27th to Anna Kiss at annakissmm at gmail dot com.
