...Peace Games and Harmony and Chance through PBHA. They helped in that they gave me faith in my ability to interact with lots of different people. I did the PeaceGames at the King School with a lot of hard-ass eighth-graders. But I also taught a sweet, silent girl the violin at the Tobin School.

"Graduate," "Narcolepsy," "I Want You"--for me, they were the songs that made my senior summer; for my brother, they were the hits of eighth grade; for everyone, they formed the soundtrack to a small part of our lives.
