Yes, it is!

Maybe you can call it a manifesto.

I remember when I first heard De La Soul's reprise of this amazing tune. The floodgates of childhood memory opened. Back in the day, idealistic, media-savvy ex-hippies must have actually thought the teevee could be good for you. How else to explain stuff like the Children's Television Workshop, Electric Company, Zoom and this. All of which beat the, er, hell out of 'Davey and Goliath'.

For those of a certain vintage, "Schoolhouse Rock" was a good excuse to watch TV after school. It was vaguely nutritious. Of course, we were oblivious to the fact that it was conceived and produced by advertising guys. But it's a testament to the effectiveness of good communication that this one has stuck with me.
