I tool a class as an undergrad called “Religious and Philosophical Dimensions of Country and Western Music”. It covered mostly the early days of Western music like Sons of the Pioneers, though, not stuff like Kenny Chesney and Hank Williams Jr. (Although I seem to remember his father being mentioned in the latter part of the course.)

Danielle: Me too.

Stephen F. Austin State Univeristy offered Philosophy in Harry Potter during my freshmen year. The amount of themes going on in those books is insane, but it was very writing intensive to throw people off. Also, they still offer History of Rock Music, which was my introduction to the Beatles.

I just kinda wish there was at least one college out there in the world that offered all these amazing classes.

I took a class at the University of Louisville on Fantasy Literature. We read and discussed The Wizard of Oz and the Lord of the Rings, among other books. Best class ever!

At UNC Greensboro I took a Deadhead sociology course which studied the effect of the Grateful Dead on pop culture and society. I got to write my end-of-term paper on what the dancing bears and skeletons mean; then I took an English class that focused on humor where our main texts were The Onion and books by David Sedaris and our homework was to watch The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Awesomeness!
Spartan pride!

I took a course called Famous Jewish Sports Legends. It wasn’t a long class. Hopefully, everyone gets the “Airplane” reference! :o)

I took a class on The Beatles when I attended Stetson University in Florida. Awesome class and one of the few A’s I received as a college student:-).

I don’t know if they still do it, but they used to offer a class at IU proper called The Music of the Beatles. They even did a version over the summer that went on location to London and Liverpool.
