Edge of Seventeen was written by Stevie Nicks and released as the third single from her 1981 debut solo album, Bella Donna. Just missing the Top 10 on Billboard Hot 100, it peaked at No. 11 but landed at No. 4 on Billboard Mainstream Rock. The song features a 16th-note guitar riff, played by Waddy Wachtel, and was inspired by the death of her uncle and the murder of John Lennon, both happening in the same week. According to Nicks, the ‘white winged dove’ represents the spirit leaving the body and the title came from a conversation Nicks had with Jane Petty, Tom Petty’s first wife. Jane said the two had met ‘at the age of seventeen’ but Nicks heard ‘edge of seventeen’.

SONG OF THE saturDAY
Written by Rostam Batmanglij and Ezra Koenig, Campus is by Vampire Weekend from their 2008 album, Vampire Weekend. Though the album was a success, Campus was never released as a single. Many speculate about the lyrics, but we just think it's a good jam, whatever the meaning.

SONG OF THE sunDAY
The Dragon’s Heartbeat was composed by Randy Edelman as the theme for the 1993 film, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. On July 20, 1973, Bruce Lee slipped into a mysterious coma and died at the age of 32. We usually play this song on that day, but we were off in the woods at the annual arts festival. We had a moment of silence on that day, but today, we’d like to officially pay tribute to Sai Fon, Sai Fung, Little Dragon, Mo Si Ting, or just Bruce. Whatever the name, he’s an all-around bad-ass and one of our biggest heroes. RIP, Little Phoenix. We will never forget you.

SONG OF THE sunDAY
Fire and Rain was written and recorded by James Taylor. Released from his 1970 album Sweet Baby James, it’s partially about a friend who had committed suicide but also about a stint in a mental institution where Taylor stayed to help recover from drug and alcohol additions. The "fire" represents electric shock therapy, and the "rain" represents the cold showers after. Carole King plays the piano on the recording.
