Well, folks, our colleges in university have been taken over by the radical left, a person who knows that better than pretty much anyone is a guy named Jeff Rabhan. He's worked in virtually all areas of the music and entertainment industry, and he's the former chairman of the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at New York University.
