That song still tears me up.
I can identify with it far too closely.
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball
*sniffle*
I was a teenager at the time and was hearing about how controversial the song was before I heard it on the radio.
When I finally heard it I could not argue with it like I wanted to going into the experience.
I still have the song on my 3000 song playlist and I identify with it. I know there are real people out there who shared the same experience and I feel some of it in my own life experience.
