Nineties Revisited: Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)


Original video located here. Accessed 20th May 2017

Song title: Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

Artist: Lee Perry and Quindon Tarver

Year: 1997

Why I like this song:

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say when i first heard this i found it inspiring. And I think I also speak for a lot of people when I say that after hearing it countless times, it stopped being inspiring and came across as corny.
But given twenty years of distance from this song and two decades of accumulated wisdom and life experiences (not to mention a parody by John Safran), I once again find this song inspiring. Funny how some distance can do that.
And hey, there's some good advice here. I wear sunscreen. And I'm good to my siblings
