I had not been out of grad school very long when Alanis’ Jagged Little Pill album was given never-ending radioplay – particularly “Isn’t It Ironic.” Driving in my car somewhere, I heard a literature professor spend about 15 minutes explaining how none of the examples in the song were actually ironic…they were just bummers. (It made me glad to be out of grad school, believe me.)

So I think I could at least get that one right. The answer is most emphatically NO. It is not ironic. (And yeah I really do think.)
