And it makes me wonder…(no, I don’t mean the line from Stairway to Heaven).
I’m taking an online music course. The content spans from Hendrix to Hip-hop.
In some recent material the Professor writes briefly about the Beatles. Then on the quiz he has a multiple choice question asking why the Beatles broke up.
The correct answer he wrote was that Yoko Ono’s presence broke up the band. This question and the answer really surprised me. She was part of the problem between them but why they broke up goes deeper than that. He made it sound like she was the sole reason when in fact it was a number of problems between the band members that had actually been going on for years before she came into the picture.
The finances between the Beatles members was a huge reason they broke up. And their arguments about who should be their business manager. Yoko Ono contributed to the break-up but I would think that the teacher would at least put one sentence in the material we read alluding that it was not Yoko Ono and Yoko Ono alone who broke them up.
My dad told me it was because of Yoko Ono…no one liked her except Lennon. So I guess that’s the popular answer. But I trust your insight to having more deeper problems than that…
Sometimes sadly enough if the professor says that the answer is true then that’s what you write. If you can’t handle writing down something you don’t believe for that subject then take a different type of class.
The instructor might give you extra points if you are seen to be doing your own thinking instead of blindly following the leader. Especially if he finds you to be right.
