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.

Wasting In The Rays

Just The Hotel Melanoma version of Crosby, Stills, & Nash’s “Wasted On The Way”…



Look around me
I can see my life before C
Burning things around the rays
I used to seek


I am older now
I have moles that sun fries hunted
And I wish that I had stopped it
Long before I did


And there's not much time to wake up
Everywhere youth burn
Time we stop basting in the rays


So much cancer moving
Underneath the kids
Let the doctors come and carry this away


Oh when you were young
Did you question all the tanners
Were you wary of this cancer
You had all the nerve


Look round you now
You pay toll for what your sun did
Look at all my friends who hid and got what they conserved


Not much time to wake up
Everywhere youth burn
Time we stop wasting in the rays


So much cancer moving
Underneath the kids
Let the doctors come and carry this away


Sol’s tough cause to take up
Everywhere you’re spurned
Lord we are tested on the way


So much cancer moving
Underneath the kids
Let the doctors come and carry this away


Let the doctors come and carry this away
