'Screen's So Good

According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, up to 90 percent of the visible changes on our skin that are commonly attributed to aging are in fact caused by years of unprotected sun exposure. This old boomer would be ‘Exhibit A’ in proving the truth of this proposition. If reducing your risk of melanoma isn’t reason enough for you to take care of the skin you’re in, think about looking like an old leather jacket or a weathered-out old barn by the time you reach my age. We guys can maybe get away with sun-weathered faces because some folks may think we look “distinguished”. It’s not fair, but a woman with the same appearance may just hear she looks old. I know I’m probably just preaching to the choir today, but please keep encouraging your friends to practice safe sun.

I'll end this homily with a new version of John Mellencamp’s “Hurts So Good”...

When I was a young boy,
Said put away that young boy pale
Now that I'm gettin' older, so much older
I long for those young boy days
With some ‘screen on you,
With some ‘screen on you,
Lord knows there are things we can do, baby,
Just me and you.
Come on and spread it

’Screen’s so good.
Come on baby, makes you look so good.
Sometimes sun can turn you to wood.
You want to look so good.

Don't want to look so like siding.
Just tryin' to save myself a little bit of sun, yeah.
Sun always looked so invitin'
Please use sunscreen so you look young
Hey baby, it's you.
Come on, girl, it’s for you.
Sink that ‘screen right through your bones, baby.
Let's see what you can do.
Come on and spread it

’Screen’s so good.
Come on baby, makes you look so good.
Sometimes sun can turn you to wood.
You want to look so good.

I ain't talkin' no small deal
I ain't saved from tans myself.
I ain't stalkin' no scan squeals
Maybe we could block around all day long,
block around all day long.

’Screen’s so good.
Come on baby, makes you look so good.
Sometimes sun can turn you to wood.
You want to look so good.

’Screen’s so good.
Come on baby, makes you look so good.
Sometimes sun can turn you to wood.
You want to look so good.

Hey, hey
