Stuart Robinson is from Oklahoma, and he wrote this song. He's singing about the Oklahoma School for Science and Math, where there was a teacher of Biology named Dr. Peter Kish. (You can look him up on LinkedIn; he's currently working Pennsylvania.) Yersinia Pestis is the bacterium that becomes the Bubonic Plague, which they would have studied in biology. I wonder if Dr. Kish knows that he has been immortalized in a song. Shawnee is Shawnee, Oklahoma, where Oklahoma Baptist University is located. It's about 40 miles east of Oklahoma City, where OSSM is located. He could be comparing Rushmore Academy from Wes Anderson's film Rushmore to OBU, or it could be a person nicknamed Rushmore who lived in Shawnee, or something else altogether. I'm not familiar with anything named Rushmore in Shawnee, but I've only been there a few times. |
