This mix is actually the soundtrack to a two-part essay that I posted to my website this week(check out the 4/14 and 4/15 entries at
http://marimbadog.easyjournal.com
to read "Who Needs Tomorrow? My Senior Prom Revisited"). The essay is about my senior prom, although this mix contains songs recorded long before, around the time of, and long after my prom, which was in 1983.
The songs on the mix follow the basic storyline of my essay. This is a tentative track list--I'm not sure everything will fit, so if there are changes, I'll make them later. But the final track list should be pretty close to this. What you won't find here is the actual theme to my prom, Bob Seger's "We've Got Tonight" (hence the title of the essay/mix). I don't have it in my collection, and I don't really like it anyway.

Looks like a lot of fun! "Pac Man Fever" and Quasi on the same mix could be a first. I don't like that Bob Seger song either.

This is too funny, Rich. I think a lot of this I'd like to forget, though! (ie, Journey!) I would've left off BS as well. Happy 20th anniversary. For some reason I feel really old now.

Ha! I looked at the title and figured, ok, there has to be at least one Journey song on here. Yep. Man, I swear - the prom should almost not exist. It causes so much angst. I see it happening to my students now, and you don't even want to know my prom (or rather, not-going-to-the-prom) story. Actually, it's not interesting - it's just pathetic. Anyway, I'll look forward to the essay.

Oooh..., well...., Happy 20th Rich...., I was thinking the other day about my reunion coming up in the fall....shouldn't you be allowed to play the music that you *should've* been listening to instead of the stuff you really were listening to..? Discuss.

This works nicely as a soundtrack. Love the Dan choice especially. Now I HAVE to check out the essay!
