Rock concerts you can’t forget
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Led Zeppelin proved once again that they are truly rock stars.
The group’s long-awaited reunion concert had music reviewers and fans calling for more.
Playing a full set for the first time in nearly three decades, the authors of “Stairway to Heaven” and “Whole Lotta Love” rocked a London arena on Monday for more than two hours.
Here’s your chance to share stories about rock concerts that were off the chain. Who did you see in concert, where and what made it special?
Were you in school dress codes wars?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
On Monday night, the Atlanta Board of Education banned sagging shorts and trousers” for students.
They’re following in a long, controversial tradition of telling students what they can and cannot wear to school. Depending on when and where you went to school, you may have been forbidden to wear jeans, or shorts, or hats, or T-shirts with any sort of message. Girls of an earlier era could only wear skirts that came to the knee or lower; boys were not allowed to wear hair growing over their collars.
Culottes? Anti-Vietnam war black armbands? Confederate imagery on shirts or hats? They’ve all had their run-ins.
We’d love to hear your stories of dress code battles past. What did you get in trouble for? We’d particularly love to hear from teachers and school administrators who were involved in past controversies.
You can talk about it here, or you can contact Phil Kloer, who is working on a story about this. Email him at pkloer@ajc.com or call him at 404 526 5448.
