Twenty years ago today, I donned cap and gown and graduated from college.  Unlike today, which is rainy and overcast, that day was sunny and bright.  It was also kind of warm, I think.  For the record, I don't remember anything said by the commencement speaker, SEN. MARK HATFIELD of Oregon.

Here now for your listening enjoyment are three songs that I closely associate with those years ( 1984-1988 ) at JUNIATA COLLEGE (and my junior year abroad at LEEDS).

First up, Dead Milkmen with "Bitchin' Camaro."

Now, "Don't Leave Me This Way," a 1986 smash from the Communards.

And, finally, Violent Femmes with "Blister in the Sun."
