Sarah and I don't often have memories of listening to the same music in high school or college. Our experiences are separated by nearly 6 years. I was surprised tonight when I played Bad Reputation and she sang along. She acquired a copy of the tape from her high school English teacher. I like imagining a 15 year old Sarah Emerson, listening to this tape on her Walkman and walking along Bennoch Rd.
Freedy Johnston nailed it with this sweetly somber song. "Suddenly I'm on the street. Seven years disappear below my feet. Do you want me now?"
