“Jazz Fusion, guys, was founded by Miles Davis, in an attempt to increase Jazz music’s popularity during the Rock ‘n Roll Era.”
Pencil tips scratched the surface of notepads. Burrows puckered in concentration in an attempt to extract and jot down facts as Elliot sped through the chapter of music history of the day.
“Oh yes. I’ve something very important to tell you guys. And you MUST take note of this. It’s regarding Zoo World (at least that was what it sounded like).”
Eyes glanced towards him in acute attentiveness.
“You see, the guy who created this game, I know him. And he told me, this coming April, there will be a special feature on Zoo World. I don’t know what exactly is it, but I know it’s going to be very cool and I need you guys to do me a favour. Install this feature, whatever it is. It’s free and it won’t take up a lot of time. Please, guys.”
Bewildered silence.
“What?! Must support him, okay? And I need Easter Eggs! I’ve only collected two!”
“Sir, are you really talking about Zoo World?”
“YES, OF COURSE! What do you think I’m talking about? Your lousy childish cooking game?”
Some banged their heads against the table. Some laughed with incredulity. Some stared in perplexity. Some simply tsk-ed in annoyance.
At this point, I think someone, as if unaffected by the bizarre topic being imposed, raised his hand and spoke to Elliott in low tones.
“Ah yes. Jazz was indeed going through a hard time. It was during the British Rock Invasion and the mainstream music period. Jazz was dying.”
Huh?
I supposed it was because the class was perpetually speechless that drove him back to his virtual zoo mania.
“So guys, please! I need Easter Eggs! You over there! The one with the laptop! Are you on Facebook? Go and send me Easter Eggs now!”
My mind was filled with a firework explosion of question marks.
I swear, the closer we’re inching towards the end of the semester, the more outlandish his lectures become.
