June 16, 20232 yr I always liked the "Wear Sunscreen" commencement speech or whatever. Popularized by Baz Luhrman but written by a Chicago writer IIRC. There's a lot of good lines from that.

Either way, advice is a form of nostalgia which is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, painting over the ugly parts, and recycling it for more than it's worth I just listened to it - he literally says Class of '99 at the beginning Although the text could have been written before that and then when the song was recorded that part added? I don't know. Anyway - this part fits quite well Quote Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old-- and when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders

I think nostalgia is one of the stupidest sentiments humans have.
