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.

Awareness Despairness

I just couldn’t think of a more fitting song for the eve of melanoma awareness month than the Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer”…

I can't seem to raise up the black facts
I'm tense and nervous and I
Can't relax
I can't sleep ‘til tan beds on fire
Just skin C it’s a tanner’s pyre


Psycho Killer
Just skin C
fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry lesser
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun away
Psycho Killer
Just skin C
fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry lesser
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun away


I speak of Black C nation they can't even fathom it.
I’m talkin' a lot, but they’re not getting’ anything.

When I have nothing to say, my C is healed.
Say something once, and say it again!


Psycho Killer,
Just skin C
fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry lesser
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun away
Psycho Killer
Just skin C
fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry lesser
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun away


Mel-la-no-mas, end Black C
Pray cancer’s beat, pray for all
Reality’s my despair
Tanners tanned, all aglow ... OK
They are vain and they are blind
I hate people when they're not too bright


Psycho Killer,
Just skin C
fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry lesser
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun away
Psycho Killer
Just skin C
fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry lesser
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun away
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh....
