Time After Time (Annelise)
From what I've heard, Time After Time is about a night Mike Mills had with these two girls (one of which was alleged to be [Barrie], now Pete's wife) where they got stoned, climbed up a water tower in Athens, partied, took some of their clothes off, and ended up getting arrested. Whether that's true or not, I honestly don't know... [omega305] * While that's the prevalent rumor (about Mike, Barrie Greene -- later [Mrs.] Buck -- and another woman) the incident reportedly occurred later in 1984, after Time After Time was recorded. It is probably the same watertower, though, as it's in the neighborhood where they were living (Barber St). [Lin Wright]
