MAKE YOUR OWN COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS

Set forth to write a “real world” commencement address. Strip it of all of the false promises and usual “the best years of your life are ahead of you” nonsense. Tell the grads that they’ll get crappy first jobs that pay badly and nobody will respect them until they’re at least 30 and other really helpful advice. Give your commencement address on the air and then open up the phones so that your audience can fill in which “truths” might be missing from it.
