A shocking connection
So on the drive home today I made one of those connections that only an English teacher could make. My roomie and I were rocking out to some Mumford and Sons and she happened to put on the song "Little Lion Man". I can't tell you what made me think of it at the moment the song started to play, but for some reason Hamlet popped into my head. And I realized that the song was pretty much the entire play condensed into just over 4 minutes. My roommate looked at me like I grew a second head because I literally started freaking out, but it was so worth it. Just had to share, even though I don't know if anyone is still on here!

I definitely see the connection! Mumford and Sons draw heavily on Shakespeare purposefully so it is no surprise.
