Back in 1999 when I graduated from college, there was a hip rap song called "Everybody is Free (to wear Sunscreen)". Last Friday I suddenly had this urge to listen to this song, as I remember I really liked it. I found the music video on youtube, after some further research, I found its interesting background.
There were many music videos created for this song internationally, but this one was the original one:

There were some internet scams and hoax relating to this song when it first came out, but here is an article explaining the true background and its writer Mary Schmich.

Here is the actual column, which contains the full version of what the song was made from.

The first time I heard this song when it first came out, I liked it as there were a lot of good advices in it. Now that I listen to it again. I liked it even more, as I feel that I completely understand it, and it's something I would write to advice others.
