Thanks for sharing these. Needless to say, I identified with We Belong and Blood Brothers.
If I had the guts to come out in high school, I could have been another Matthew Bogar. We're about the same age and at the time, the world wasn't nearly as tolerant. In those years, I knew my share of skin heads in Chicago. The only thing that saved me was that I hung out with the musicians and burn outs. As for We Belong, I went to a Catholic boys high school from 1978 - 1982. Those were 4 years of hell that pushed me farther into the closet. There was no such thing as tolerance there and capital punishment was sanctioned. I agree that everyone should watch all of these.
