How much of this idle widsom from Baz Luhrmann's Suncreen is true in your honest opinion?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJ7AzBIJoI[/youtube]When I was growing up, I was always into the songs people my age never liked and this was one of them.
But for whatever reason a lot of the things in this song stuck with me growing up. So I ask you all is a lot of this false wisdom or melancholy truths?
How do the "lyrics" of this "song" resonate in you?

I was told that sunscreen interferes with the body's ability to synthesize vitamin D from sunlight/uv exposure.

I bought 2oz of it for a long bike tour in '77. I still have half of it. I use a dab on my ears or nose sometimes, to avoid a peeling burn if I have to spend a day outside while still pale, but otherwise, I trust the sunlight more than the chemicals. I know lots of farmers and loggers, etc, and they never use it.

I try to avoid anything above factor 20. :lol:
Anyways yeah sorry if the title was insulting..I was having one of those nights where I drink JD a lot and contemplating the future.
Still, I always remember this song and the advice.
