I don't think Tone Loc could fill an hour, then again, you could prove me wrong! But seriously.

So, how much would you charge for those bass lessons?

I could teach classes (to laypersons) on:
-various music-related topics (a few possibilities: Bob Dylan, first-wave NY punk, UK punk/post-punk/new wave/shoegaze, 90's US underground/indie-rock)
-crossword puzzle solving
-chess (for beginners)
-Super Mario Kart for N64
-certain aspects of linguistics and/or literary theory
-various literature-related topics, but preferably 20th Century American Literature (which I hope to go back to school to get a Phd in sometime within the next few years so that I can ACTUALLY be qualified to teach classes in this)

You can ACTUALLY teach right now.
Can I come to your Sweet Bobby D class? We need to compare notes per:
"Bob Dylan, first-wave NY punk, UK punk/post-punk/new wave/shoegaze, 90's US underground/indie-rock", 'cause those are my favorite musics.
Which is interesting because... my brain doesn't do chess or crossword puzzles. I don't even think I'm teachable.
Let's get it on with linguistics and lit theory.

Due to my long-time moniker as a "Fountain of Useless Knowledge", you don't even have to throw a quarter in, I could just about spin any topic into an hour long discussion :lol:
It's easier to list the topics I couldn't teach for an hour.
1. 80s pop culture. (I hate Trivial Pursuit games that have these questions, grrrr). I'm sorry, I was studying the properties of minerals, american/european/indian history, and how to recover buried/sunken treasure during those years. :D
2. Biology
3. Thermofliuds shivvver :shock: I don't care how my brakes work, just that they work. :wink:
4. Nascar
and
5. Jai Alai

I lived down the street from one of these places for two decades and never figured out how the game works.

1. turntablism: how to scratch and beat juggle.
2. motorcycle touring: "pack light, pack right"
3. risk management for ama chartered race promoters/organizers, lol...this is a class i do teach, it's very boring.
4. off road riding skills and techniques: dual sport riding to enduro racing.
5. grill snacks 101: if you can kill it, you can grill it. :lol:

Math - ranging from Algebra to Calculus (I've been tutoring in all of these subjects for many years now)
East Asian Economics
Hip Hop 101 - Sugar Hill Gang to Present
Karate/ Jujitsu - though, I haven't practiced since I was 13 (when I got my black belt), so I might need a bit of a refresher

living carfree in columbus: easier than you think
domestic violence
and various music-related things, of course.

I would like a lesson on turntablism and how DJ's do their thing. I wish they offered a class like that at the Upper Arlington Lifelong Learning...I think it would be awesome. The DJ would tell you about it and let you dance a little then lecture some more. COOL CLASS.
Jai alai is sweet. They had a team in Tampa...
