This is Bobby Bare, Jr.

There are few things in this world of which a young lumberjack can be certain. But one of them is that Bobby Bare, Jr. — the long haired son of country legend Bobby Bare — has never seen nor heard of Degrassi Junior High. I should know. He told me so. And you know you can always trust the word of a musician.

But Bobby boy is in luck. If he’s got a DVD player and $34.99 to spare, he can soon immerse himself in the glory that is late 80’s/early 90’s Canadian melodrama: Degrassi High is finally being released on DVD!

And I’m not talking about “The Next Generation,” which has sadly turned the anti-90210 into the hockey-loving version of the OC. No, this Degrassi in all it’s beautifully ugly, awkward realism:

Luckily for Melanie — who kind of steals my heart for a few episodes later in the series — Bobby has a song just for her.
