It's Justin Bieber Time!

So very, very NOT.

Over the past year or so, I’ve been fortunate to stumble onto a warm and supportive community of great folks who’ve also had the misfortune of checking into the Hotel Melanoma. With gratitude for all of you, here’s a favorite of mine from John “Cougar” Mellencamp’s American Fools album, “Hand To Hold On To”…

You can laugh and joke and have fun with mole friends
Find them at midnight when your troubles begin
Take it nice and easy and never pretend
That you're cool, so cool, so cool

Never alone when C’s wild and it will not be tamed
Post when you hurt with a medicated brain
Be an old fool drivin' the onc boys insane
Be a joker, a teacher, it does not matter

Every one needs a hand to hold on to
Every one had some tans they held on to
Don't need to be no strong hand
Don't need to be no rich hand
Every one just needs a hand to hold on to

Havin' bad luck with your biopsy situation
Pink’s for phonies, be resident of black cancer nation
Get to work and be a chemo trial stud
Drive that IV jive right into your blood, yeah

Every one needs a hand to hold on to
Every one had some tans they held on to
Don't need to be no strong hand
Don't need to be no rich hand
Every one just needs a hand to hold on to

And then those hours when you're alone
And there's no body there except yourself
I know it, you wanna log on and post
And say, "Talk to me, talk to me
Somebody please talk to me"
Yeah...ah...ah...ahhh

Oh, yeah...ah
Every one needs a hand to hold on to
Every one had some tans they held on to
Don't need to be no strong hand
Don't need to be no rich hand
Every one just needs a hand to hold on to
