Pop Music Quiz: Chick Rockers
It's Monday and time to check your Pop Culture I.Q. again. I know what you're saying: "School's out. It's summer." Consider this summer school. Today we're testing your knowledge of chick rockers. For inspiration, here's a video of some of my students taking a pop quiz on the street. Yes, I quiz people randomly on the street. Some consider it stalking; I consider it a public service.
Now that you've had a little tutorial, here's your quiz. Since it's summer, we'll stop at 10 questions. You have better things to do than take a quiz... and I have better things to do than grade them. One reminder: Janis Joplin died so chicks could get the vote. And rock.
