"Breakdown" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clruGRZAMLo *** You're right about that, in my own experience at least. When I was 21, I thought I had it all figured out because I was an upperclassman, and that I knew what was what compared to those poor, foolish 18-year old freshmen. I thought no one could touch me.

Chapter 29 Music Recomendations -When Brad and Robbie have sex with Mouse to comfort him. "Could You Be Loved?" by Bob Marley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU6olL5ByIM

Before I start, I've gotta note that YouTube has been pulling off music lately because of WMG copyright claims, so some of the links I've posted don't work anymore. If that happens, you have the title and the artist, so go crazy, alright? *wink* Chapter 28 Music Recomendations -When Mouse relates the abuse he's suffered at the hands of his parents. "Hell is For Children" by Pat Benetar I was so worried that this song might have been an '81 song instead of '80...you guys should've heard the "whoop!" I let out when I read that this was part of the Pat Benetar album that came out in August 1980. It was too perfect for that moment to pass up. -When Mouse is given his makeover at the Stanford Shopping Center. "Look Sharp" by Joe Jackson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RtOilzTqcw Enjoy!

Chapter 23 -When J.P. talks to Jake. "Whip It" by Devo -When Frank and Robbie have it out, and make up. "Redemption Song" by Bob Marley

Chapter 20 -When Robbie wakes up, and they officially become boyfriends. For a couple minutes, anyways. "Baby, I Love You" by the Ramones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBLVe-BUhck -When Brad walks out, pissed that Robbie is wavering about standing up to his parents. "Don't Drop My Love" by Anita Ward Chapter 21 -Robbie confronts the Hayes about sending him to Christian school, and refuses to go. "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" by Pink Floyd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUASiDg-kg4 -Robbie and Brad sprint out of Escorial and drive to San Francisco.

"Bad Girls" by Donna Summer -Brad and Jake clear the air about all the shit that happened, before Brad lets Jake be taken in by Stefan and Greg. "Can We Still Be Friends?" by Todd Rundgren *** Hope you guys enjoyed it. I think my "discovery", aka a song I'd never really heard before but really like, would be "Can We Still Be Friends"? And I thought it was wildly appropriate for the dynamic between Jake and Brad. I also really liked the Ramones cover of "Baby I Love You", which I wasn't familiar with.

Before I go on to Chapter 18, I gotta say...I've discovered a lot of great tunes I'd never heard of before, like "Wait For Me" by H&O and "Drive All Night". It's been fun doing this. Chapter 18 -When Brad and Lark have a fun weekend in Los Angeles, and see "Xanadu".

"Since You've Been Gone" by Rainbow -When Brad and Robbie kiss on the pier at San Francisco, where for that one moment everything is perfect... "Dreamin'" by Blondie

Boy, is my face red. Anyways, just hope you guys enjoyed the selections. I'm really liking "Wait For Me", as I said before.

Thanks. I did like that movie, only seen it once or twice. I'm a sucker for time travel movies. And coincidentally, I was born on Pearl Harbour Day as well as my grandfather, so yeah. LOL. Here are my chapter 17 recomendations: -When Brad and Robbie drive back, only talking at intersections. "Drive All Night" by Bruce Springsteen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW4Fu0Lk23c Warning: This is a 10-minute version of the song from a concert in 1980. If you don't like the Boss, well... -When Brad and Robbie have sex, and Brad tells them they'll be a couple someday. "Wait For Me" by Hall & Oates http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLRHjcqY5bY -When Lark and Brad sleep together. "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" by Journey ****** I'd never heard of that particular H&O song, "Wait For Me". What a nice little gem! And pretty relevant to the scene I picked for it, don't you think?

*shrugs* Dunno. I've had a couple of dates in my life, but so far it's all been hookups. No one wants to be serious when you're in college, especially gay guys, so...there you go.
