Melissa Etheridge Delivers Commencement Speech

Tuesday May 23, 2006
I don't remember who spoke at my college graduation. I think it was a politician. I certainly don't remember what he said. My guess is the students at the Berklee College of Music will remember their speaker AND what she said. Melissa Etheridge attended Berklee in the late 1970s, until she dropped out to pursue her musical dreams. This week she was back on campus to pick up an honorary degree, with one of her idols, Aretha Franklin and give the commencement address. Melissa was honest, funny and inspirational. Listen to her commencement speech.
