Question
hey crystal how are ya I asked u a couple of years ago about the song playing in the backround when david was driving steves vet from the party "noby rides for free"did u find out who sings that.. thankx crystal

Answer
Hello again,

Since I hadn't made much progress with answering your question, I decided to do a new keyword search using just "nobody rides for free" to see what songs I could turn up that contained that phrase. Here's what I turned up:

Jackson Browne - Boulevard
Skid Row - Makin' A Mess
Simple Minds - Sun City
Ratt - Nobody Rides For Free
Blackfoot - Nobody Rides For Free
Bryan Adams - Reckless
Poison - Valley Of Lost Souls
W.A.S.P. - War Cry
They Might Be Giants - I Need Some Lovin'

I did not listen to audio samples or anything so I have no idea if one of these songs is the one you're looking for. Just thought I'd give you something to try in the hopes that you'd recognize the song. If it is one of these, please follow-up with me and let me know.

Take care,
Crystal

Expertise

I have seen all 10 seasons of 90210 and have every episode on tape to locate answers. My expertise is on the first 6 seasons and the characters Brenda and Dylan, but I will attempt to answer any question pertaining to the show. Please no scene/dialogue questions because they are very time-consuming and frustrating. However, I will be happy to clarify misunderstood dialogue due to whispering and such if I'm able to. I will attempt to answer any song question for the original airdates and syndication. NO DVD SONG QUESTIONS PLEASE. Please see my "Life Experience" in my profile for song question updates, it may pertain to your question.

Experience

I have every single episode on tape to find the answers. I watched and taped the show religiously. (All requests for copies of my videotapes/episodes will be declined.)
Update: The song used in "Crunch Time" during David's meth addiction is "Living In A Fantasy" by The Rainbow Band. Many thanks to the fellow 90210 Fan that contacted me with the info when they tracked it down. Also, the song used in "One Wedding and a Funeral" that Dylan & Toni dance to is "Nobody Knows Me" by Lyle Lovett. Same song is used during the scene where Dylan is crying while holding the wedding dress and then kitten. David & Donna's wedding song is "Spend My Life With You" by Eric Benet & Tamia. Same song was Steve & Janet's wedding song.

Education/Credentials
Pertaining to BH90210: fan since original airing on Fox going back to 1991. Saw 1st season from reruns & syndication.
