Love is a Mix Tape: Life & Loss, One Song at a Time. By Rob Sheffield

A man from the 70's relives his 8th grade duties of being in charge if the songs played in one of his 8th grade dance. He describes why he wants the responsibility of being the DJ. He believes it's his job because he thinks he knows the right songs people should dance to. In his mind rock and roll are the best songs to play but soon enough he learns that is not the case. As the dance soon approaches kids from the 8th grade come up to him and give him song they want to hear at the dance. At one point of the story a girl comes up to hi to give him a song she wants to her. He seems to be scared of the girls and soon by his dad that girls are into music and DJ.
