Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen is iconic, it's a classic, and it endures to this day, 25 years later. I didn't realize at the time this song was released, that the spoken words in Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen pretty much based on a 1997 essay written by columnist Mary Schmich written as a hypothetical commencement speech, and thanks to the internet (quite new at the time believe it or not), many people attributed the speech to Kurt Vonnegut. Anyway, I love this song, and it speaks to generation to generations with its wisdom and quirkiness and humor that gives us optimism in this crazy world.
