Question
Ok this question might pose as a challenge for you but I'm hoping you can help.  
   I'm looking for the artist and title of a song that played at the end of an episode, that occurs after the gang have graduated from high school. The episode involves someone, a girl I think, leaving town. I don't think she was a major character, but as she left a song played that talked about leaving L.A. (Los Angeles might have been mentioned by name.) I seem to remember that this song was also playing on the radio at the time.
I know I'm not giving you much information, but if you could help that would be great.
    Thank you so much in advance!

Hi Gino,

You're probably thinking of "L.A. Song" by Beth Hart.  It played at the Peach Pit AfterDark (live performance) during the episode, "Doc Martin", 10x17 (airdate: 2/16/00).  One of the main plots involved Gina Kincaid, Donna's half-sister, deciding to leave town for good.  The song was definitely on the radio at the time.  

Thanks for the question!

All the best,

Can Dylan solve quadratic equations? What makes up a "mega-burger"? If an answer exists, I probably know it. Whether your question is general, begging the context of all 10 seasons, or completely inane, feel free to drop me a line either way. I will provide episode reference numbers for each response and plan to have some fun with this. Trivia quizzes often need correction, and publications will get their plotlines/characters/relationships mixed up too. I accept dialogue/scene requests, but please limit your inquiry to 1-2 per question. I only know music from the original broadcasts/reruns, not the DVDs. Been a fan since 1990 and didn't miss a beat.

Experience

Well, I began watching "Beverly Hills, 90210" at the tender age of 9 and a half, during its original run. By 11, I was a huge fan; 13, obsessed; 14, growing bitter. I don't like S6 - S10 as much as Seasons 1 - 5. But, technically, I still watch all of them in some way. Do this for 20 years and you'll remember the darndest things.

Education/Credentials
I'd like to say I've earned a "degree" on the life and times of the original eight, with specific concentration on Seasons 1 thru 5, any Jack McKay drama, Dylan/Kelly together or apart, and the guest stars of 1992-1994. Season 4, I think, was the best and strikingly different from any other. My only weakness might be later-season 'stand-in' characters like Matt and Noah, and the ever-changing ownerships of The AfterDark.
