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).
As we get closer and closer to the top of the countdown (and, therefore, closer and closer to the reunion date itself), I want to continue to give special shout-outs to those classmates who have shared the songs that *they* remember hearing (over and over again). That includes Bob S, who let me know that his strongest jukebox memory was the follow up to 'Crimson and Clover' and 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll' that was released in 1988: Joan Jett & The Blackhearts' 'I Hate Myself for Loving You'.
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.
