Nice!

I was surprised, in a pleasant way, to find this while going through my lectures.

Slide 1: Immigration Act Amendments of 1965
That was an excerpt from “Thousands Are Sailing” by the Pogues. The choice is a bit ironic in that the song deals with immigration in the 1980s from Ireland, which the reforms of the 1960s made quite difficult. Lesson 41 discusses the Immigration Act Amendments of 1965 and provides basic information about immigration levels since their passage.


Who the fuck would have thought that my ~60 year old prof would know The Pogues.
