Songs for a Graduation
My nephew, Mike Fox, IM’d me the other day asking for some songs he could use for his graduation. Not sure what else to suggest, I suggested a few songs about school:
Alice Cooper/School’s Out
Pink Floyd/Another Brick in the Wall
The Ramones/Rock and Roll High School
Chuck Berry/School Days
After I couldn’t think of anymore that were about school, Mike suggested songs about saying goodbye. Great idea! In the next 15 minutes I reeled off these (with a little help from iTunes):
The Beatles/Hello Goodbye
Neil Young/Long May You Run
The Clash/Should I Stay or Should I Go (as a joke)
Then I started thinking about the occasion more, and these came to mind:
Neil Young/Sugar Mountain
Jeff Buckley/Hallelujah
Nanci Griffith/From A Distance (no Bette Midler!)
I’ve made a playlist in iTunes for these but I’m looking for more. What do you suggest?

Happy Trails and Good Riddance (Time of Your LIfe) are both excellent suggestions!
