It Really Disturbs Me That I Can’t Find My “Pretty In Pink” Soundtrack

I’m haunted. Really. I bought it at a used CD store in November in a moment of extreme self-acceptance. I have always felt some shame for my less than cutting-edge music taste. I can probably pin that one on the two years I had of the French horn. Forget about how I sounded, I had to carry that thing around. That, my tupperware lunchbox, and my backpack probably equaled about eighty pounds. The weight of fourth and fifth grade deafend me to cool music…

Anyway, I was going to include “If You Leave” on a compilation of my favorite cheeze ball songs for my sister when I found it missing. It makes me sad because I loved that movie so much. Whether he knew it or not, John Hughes created rays of light that shot through the morbid thoughts of my teen years. It all began in the sixth grade when my best friend and I “worked” as traffic guards to earn free movie passes (though I didn’t need any movie passes to tell cars when to stop and go). Once a month on Saturday afternoons we went to the movie theater and watched John Hughes’ latest creation; Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Foot Loose (not a John Hughes film), all of ’em.

Molly Ringwald felt like an intimate acquantaince, an older sister that we worshiped. She wasn’t some archetypal Gwyneth or ???, but neither were we. She had her own natural spirit thing going on. She was so real. Who has that now?

I loved “Pretty in Pink” because Molly Ringwald played a girl from the other side of the tracks. She drove through rich neighborhoods and gawked at nice homes and dreamed of a different life. She failed to value herself and her creativity, but she didn’t give up. I remember my friend calling me after seeing it (I can’t remember why I didn’t go) and told me that the ending was “bullshit” because Mollly ended up with the rich popular dude. We were both outraged and cynical, but not deterred from the fluttering of our hopeful hearts for rich popular dudes

In a world that felt frightening and heartless, John Hughes was a ray of hope, albeit a ray of very “white” hope (more on my all-black basketball team later)…He understood the feeling of wanting so badly to be different than who you are. And he made those fantasies come true. But what I remember is the feeling of hope around that time.

With that said, where is my godamn CD (does my boyfriend have it?)
