During the 86/87 school year, my friend and classmate Jill was in both Chemistry and Latin with me. Her light, bubbly personality always uplifted my spirits. In the 5 minutes before class started, she and I would share Walkmen [I didn't get a Discman until the school year had ended] and cassettes.

Jill wasn't just blonde; she was platinum blonde. Headphones on, hair in a pony tail, Jill just shrugged, "When I get old, and my hair turns white, no one will notice."

On one of those Winter '87 quarters, no rain in sight, weather sunny and warm, that boring chem class just made time stand still. Jill sauntered in, bobbing to Glass Tiger's "Someday." Jill and I had the same initials. Because we were seated alphabetically by last name, it just so happened that Jill and I sat side by side, in adjacent rows. Usually chewing gum, Jill would always smile, lean over, and pass notes to me in chem class. While we had a break, as the teacher went to the back room to get lab supplies, Jill popped out the cassette of Glass Tiger's The Thin Red Line, glanced at it, said, "Thin Red Line?," looked down at her pubis, and remarked, "Isn't that when your period starts?"

Those of us around her groaned, and thus, didn't feel like listening to the title track. But "Thin Red Line" is one of those cool secondary tracks, which add depth to your playlist. And wouldn't you know it. While you had "Jack And Diane" swirling in your head, when I woke up, I had "Thin Red Line" in mine :-)
