I can ride my bike with no handlebars

I would think most of you have heard the song 'No Handlebars' by Flobots... Personally I am not a huge fan of the song, but I stumbled across a few of their websites and found them very interesting. Apparently, the lead singer was a music teacher before the group signed a record deal, and as a group they are now huge promoters of social change. I know so many bands promote world peace! and in practice do nothing about it... but Flobots really seems like a political organization first, and a band second. Listening closely to their lyrics, they're actually very good in my opinion. If you have a free moment check it out, do you think you could incorporate this particular group into a lesson?

and hey, if you don't buy into their sincerity, use it as a media literacy lesson!
