A contemporary update of Baz Luhrmann’s 1999 Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

Ladies, Gentlemen, and Genderqueer Friends of the Class of 2019:

Get down with the Beatnik philosophy of The Beat Generation

Give Eurodance a fair chance before you dismiss it

Throw out your Soundcloud trash

And discover Hendrix, Dylan, Cobain & Marley

Kishore Kumar, Udit Narayan, Lata & Asha

Don’t fall for the organized industry of religion

If there is a God, its the same one they talk of in

Ayodhya, Jerusalem and Mecca

And if you’re gonna be religious

Triangulate parables from the Gita, Bible, and Qur’an

Buy a fondue set — gouda cheese highly recommended

Boycott companies profiting off of suffering

Watch old cult films

Rediscover old music videos from the 80's and 90's

Do one random act of kindness a day

Have dreams that are big enough to scare you
