Comment:
Both an ode to JH and the teen comedies of the 80's. Also, each of the songs reflect or invoke memories from my high school days; such as a crush who painted my locker black (including the combination dialer), a friend who dressed in drag for a spoof on the Homecoming Queen competition (who is now a cop) and Grease was the play we put on my Senior year. In between the songs are movie clips from (mostly), you guessed it, 80's teen comedies.Feedback:
Although I never liked John Hughes movies, you did an excellent job here. Better than The Breakfast Club!
