Si la jeunesse sauvait, si la viellesse pouvait. Advice to commencement speakers from Carlin Romano. Consider your audience:

  • Atari predates them, as do vinyl albums.

  • Banana Republic has always been a store, not a puppet government in Latin America.

  • The statement "You sound like a broken record" means nothing to them.

  • They do not have a clue how to use a typewriter.

  • They've never heard, "Where's the beef?"

  • Paul Newman has always made salad dressing.

  • Michael Jackson has always been white.
