An interview with Mrs. Hopke of the A+ Department.What music or songs remind you of your childhood?
Mrs. Hopke's Answer: Journey and the song "Killing Me Softly" because her sister would sing it a lot, which annoyed her.
My Answer: U2 and Veggie Tales were always a go-to for my family.
These two compare because Journey and U2 were both extremely popular bands in the 80's.
Who is your favorite singer or group or song and why?
Mrs. Hopke's Answer: Journey and Steve Perry and "Don't Stop Believing," just because.
My Answer: I have so many different favorites I can't put it in one sentence.
I find it fantastic how much Mrs. Hopke likes Journey. She REALLY likes them.
What music reminds you of someone you love?
Mrs. Hopke's Answer: Queen: "You Are My Best Friend." She dedicates this song to her husband on the radio on their anniversary each year.
Me: "Beautiful Day" by U2 because it's one of my dad's favorite songs.
I thought that Mrs. Hopke dedicating that song to her husband was absolutely adorable.
Which Music or artist was "controversial" or "offensive" to some when you were growing up?
Mrs. Hopke's Answer: Disco music was offensive to her mother because it had a 4 beat rhythm.
Me: I don't actually remember anything being offensive when I was younger, my parents were very broad in their music selections.
I think you are so lucky to have parents that are open-minded and diverse in their music tastes--I'm sure they have a similar take on most other things, too, which must have given you lots of freedom to be yourself and make up your own mind as you grew up.
