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.

May Days Craze

Our very own awareness month is almost upon us, and I suspect that a whole lot of folks at the Hotel Melanoma are going to say it loud and say it proud. The Paler Nation doesn’t yet have anything going for it like the NFL in ‘Pinktober’, shamelessly pandering to broaden its fan base, but we’ve got something a whole lot more powerful than Tim Tebow in pink cleats: real people, telling real stories, with real honesty and emotion. And, I must say, I think we have better songs.


For all of you mole mates working grassroots to build awareness, a new version of The Beach Boys’ “California Girls”…

Well East coast mates get drips
I really dig those trials they dare
And the Southern mates for the AIM they walk
They’ll rock me out when I'm down there


The Mid-West bad ass warriors really make Black C take flight
And the Northern mates with the way they diss
They’ll give Mercola cause for fright


I wish we all could see melanoma
I wish we all could see melanoma
I wish we all could see melanoma cures


The West coast has the sunshine
But our girls don’t get so tanned
I dig a pale sunscreener, on no fryin’ island
Under a palm tree in the sand


I look all around this Big C world
And I see all kinds of cures
Yeah, and I just can’t wait to ‘get black’ with my mates
And find the fastest cures in C world


I wish we all could see melanoma
I wish we all could see melanoma
I wish we all could see melanoma cures


I wish we all could be melanoma
(Cures, cures, cures, yeah I dig the)
I wish we all could be melanoma
(Cures, cures, cures, yeah I dig the)
I wish we all could be melanoma
(Cures, cures, cures, yeah I dig the)
I wish we all could be melanoma cures
