Thursday night of our 40th saw the world premiere of Class of 69 written by honorary classmate Paul Muldoon and performed by his rock group Rackett. According to Wikipedia, Muldoon's poetry is known for difficulty, allusion, casual use of obscure or archaic words, understated wit, punning, and deft technique in meter and slant rhyme (go Paul!). But those of us who actually remember our time at Princeton shouldn’t have too much trouble with this one. Besides, what other class can say it is the subject of an original Muldoon? And as those in attendance know, Rackett did a wonderful job playing the song as well, and was called on to encore it at least once!
