Introduction

The "Hotel Melanoma" moniker is a metaphor for living with my particular brand of cancer. Except for those lucky few of us deemed "cured", all we cancer survivors are guests of one of the many, many branded hotels in the "Hotel Carcinoma" chain. We can check out any time we like, but we can never leave. Meanwhile, let's be livin' it up; and please support cancer education, prevention, and treatment research.

A Foolish Man

Just a song today, so dust off your Moog Synthesizer and sing along with this golden oldie, Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s “Lucky Man”…



He made poor choices
Found nurses by the score
All dressed in hazmats
And waiting by the door

Ooooh, what a foolish man he was
Ooooh, what a tannin’ fan he was

White coated residents
They stood by his bed
An old lumpy mattress
On which meds were fed

Ooooh, what a foolish man he was
Ooooh, what a tannin’ fan he was

He came to fight wars
For this cancer can’t be king
Started bloggin’ ‘bout his story
So people would sing

Ooooh, what a foolish man he was
Ooooh, what a tannin’ fan he was

This bullet had found him
His skin looked like old hide
Some sunscreen could save him
But he laid out and he fried

Ooooh, what a foolish man he was
Ooooh, what a tannin’ fan he was
