‘Tis May, the height of the season for school commencement speeches that offer students everywhere aspirational advice on how to live their lives.
In that regard, some of you (of a certain age) may remember a hypothetical commencement speech from the 1990s that was published in the Chicago Tribune. It later became a spoken word song in 1999 by Baz Luhrmann called “Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen).” One point of the song was actually great advice—urging young graduates everywhere to remember to protect themselves from the sun whenever possible.
