PUSD's school of rock

These young cats were rocking their mini-Strats Thursday morning onstage in the auditorium of Wilson Middle School, where a totally enviable summer school program sponsored by the nonprofit Pasadena Educational Foundation is in its fifth week. Enviable in the sense that, recalling my own junior high summer school terms -- math, and weight training in an effort to bulk up for B football -- the rock 'n' roll, the robotics and the bat-house crafting woodshop looked like Woodstock in comparison to my old ... Altamont. That chart on the right, by the way? "16 chords that changed the world."
