The Law of the Playground

Mr Sparrow

Music teacher. Quotes included;

"Tell me, exactly what is funk?" - after Jack said that his composition was based on funk.
"Tell me, exactly what is soul?" - after Jack said that funk derives from soul.
On Elvis Costello - "I thought Jailhouse Rock was excellent"
"Of course, you can only get electric bass guitars"

And, outside of music:

"You know, when we went over to sort out Afghanistan, I think we all expected to see them all living in tents and mud huts and things, but it was clear they'd derived some of the building ideas from the west"
After laughing raucously for about two minutes - "What am I laughing about?"

He also reckoned that I listened to "outrageous music" after performing a Beatles song and a Red Hot Chili Peppers song for performance. Outrageous indeed...
