The Wind Beneath My Wings

The English text book they're introducing this year to the students makes a corny references to "the wind beneath my wings". Not only is this an unknown quote here in Korea, but so is the song and the movie behind the song. I got to show my Korean Mother a part of (swoon) Beaches today and print off these song lyrics. Isn't it interesting that such a simple, often-mocked allusion can be wrought with so much history?

Good thing I'm here to teach these Koreans all about Bette Midler :)
