Something To Walk About

At the upcoming AIM For A Cure Melanoma Walk at Freedom Park in Charlotte, NC, those of us who are lucky enough to be able to attend will be walking for everyone who’s checked into the Hotel Melanoma-- you may not be physically present but you’ll be in the hearts and heads of those who are. And if you are there, you won’t have any difficulty spotting me because I’ll be one of two older fellows sporting a black tutu. (Which I’m sure is going to haunt me for years to come in so, so many ways.) With any luck, the walk’s pale and black-clad participants will make enough noise and create enough of a spectacle to draw the curiosity of the park’s regular Saturday morning users and a few of those innocent bystanders will maybe start to ‘get’ melanoma before they too get it.

Until next time, I’ll leave you with a little twist on Bonnie Raitt’s “Something To Talk About”…

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
People are walkin', walkin' 'bout people,
I fear them blisters, shoes won't relieve it.
They think we're vampires kept under cover,
I just ignore it but they keep sayin' we...
Stand just a little too proud,
Scan just a little too close,
Our ‘screen’s just a little too strong.
Maybe they're seein' somethin' we got darlin'.

Let's give 'em somethin' to walk about
(Somethin' to walk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to walk about
(Somethin' to walk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to walk about
How about cure?

I feel so foolish, I never noticed
I was so reckless, could U be stalkin’ for me?
It took a tumor to make me wonder,
Now I'm convinced that I'm glowin’ under.
Thinkin' 'bout cure every day,
Dreamin' 'bout cure every night.
I'm hopin' that you feel the same way,
Now that we know it, let's really show it darlin'.

Let's give 'em somethin' to walk about
(Somethin' to walk about)
A little ‘skin C’ to get cured out
(Somethin' to walk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to walk about
How about cure?

Let's give 'em somethin' to walk about babe,
A little ‘skin C’ to get cured out.
Let's give 'em somethin' to walk about,
How about cure? Ooh...
Listen to 'em baby
(Somethin' to walk about)
A little ‘skin C’ could hurt 'em
(Somethin' to walk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to walk
How about our cure, cure, cure, cure
Whoowhoo mmmm hey oohh whoowhoo
About cure, cure, cure, cure
How about they walk about it? uh huh
Walk about cure........
