Way back in high school I remember reading the Rolling Stone college issue and a column asking famous musicians, authors and actors about completing one's education.

The premise was that every American would need to see one specific movie, read one specific book and hear one specific record in order for their education to be "complete".

What would you wish to tell this year's graduating class? What one book, one movie and one record would a student most certainly need to experience in order to go out in the world a properly educated person?

Annie: M - Baraka (Ron Fricke) B - The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky R - Debut by Bjork

Andy: M - Do The Right Thing (Spike Lee) B - Women by Charles Bukowski R - Bad Brains (ROIR) by Bad Brains

What are yours?
