About Ed and the Educators

A group of teachers who started a rock band to entertain their Lincoln High School students have taken their act outside the classroom and showed they can rock beyond anyone's wildest dreams. The band, which covers classic-rock tunes such as Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell" and David Bowie's "Suffragette City," formed after one member sent an e-mail to his fellow teachers seeking musicians to perform at a school talent show. At the talent show, the band played songs such as the Ramones' "Rock 'n' Roll High School" and Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)." The latter opens with the famous lyric: "We don't need no education/we don't need no thought control." Ed and the Educators plans to keep performing locally as long as it continues to be fun.
