School usually starts in September, although in some parts of the world, including Israel, university doesn't kick in until October and sometimes as late as November. So that makes this week's special "back to school" episode still timely. Songs about school, gym, teachers, apples, education, college and learning, starting with Dave Edmunds and ending with Alice Cooper.
With music from Jesse Malin, Supertramp, the Ramones, Fountains of Wayne, Annemarie, Aqua, George Harrison and much more. Plus a Hebrew-language cover of "Smoking in the Boys Room."
