This month ... it's all about the top 30 jukebox memories (see rules below) -- relevant because it was *our* class who got a jukebox installed in the cafeteria (along with Coke machines and one of those electronic message boards).
Teenage angst. Teenage wistfulness about boys and girls breaking up with each other. Teenage relationship drama. At lunch. 'Cause that's what is bound to happen when you put said jukebox in said cafeteria where teenagers congregate day in and day out. In other words, cue Brenda Russell's biggest hit from 1988: 'Piano in the Dark'. (I'm not crying ... *you're* crying.)
RULES FOR THIS TOP 30 LIST: Songs are as remembered from when they were being played loudly in the cafeteria, making us all raise our voices at mealtimes in order to hear each other. All memories are believed to be accurate and will be fact checked on the interwebs to make sure that featured songs were actually released prior to June of 1989 (but since these memories are thirty years old, there is not a guarantee of 100% accuracy.) Also note that an appearance on this list is not necessarily an endorsement of the song or the artist. And if anyone out there wants to make a mixtape that we can all make copies of at the reunion, now is the time to start working on that task.
