Sunscreen

Quite honestly my blog would be incomplete without this track. You can't call it a song since it was originally believed to be a commencement speech given to the graduating class of 1999. That was a hoax and in fact it was a column that was in the Chicago tribune although it SHOULD have been a commencement speech because it makes damn good sense. The article in the Tribune found it's way onto the internet and that would have been the end of it except that email made it's way to someone and he was truly touched by it.

Award winning movie director Baz Luhrmann eventually bought the rights to the words and then turned put the words to the music "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" that was used in his Romeo and Juliet remake starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. It was then released by Capitol Records.

If you've never heard of this song or heard it and forgot it then allow me to introduce or reintroduce it to you. It may be just what you need to hear today, you really never know but do yourself a favor and take heed to the words. Enjoy.
