Flaming Lips frontman delivers a useful and profound commencement address to his alma mater.
“I am not technically a high school graduate, even myself. I’m neither ashamed nor proud … It is well documented that I worked at Long John Silver’s and sold pot out of my apartment…”

Makes you wanna get high and eat fried fish! That’s how it’s done Jodie Foster.

I’m sorry, I realize that Jody Foster reciting/”rapping” the lyrics to “Lose Yourself” is wholly and completely embrassing all on its’ own, but…why IN THE NAME OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY, has no one brought up the fact that she sounds like Tina Yothers on a repeat of “Family Ties!!!”
AAAAAAAAllllllllessssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Wayne claims that he hasn’t done drugs since the 80′s. And yeah, I buy it. I think that’d be great. But still, he’s my hero and I think he’s a hell of a role model anyway.
If anyone busts on him for having difficulty reading the cue cards, you are a dick.
thanks, goodbye.
lucky grads.
yeah, he’s sober.
either that or the drugs have definitely done their damage…
That was really good. Thanks for finding this.
HE HAS A TWITCH!
Yeah Im busting on him for reading the cards, Aaron.
But it’s still a good speech and I wish somebody that cool was at my HS grad.
love it

I think he has to go to the bathroom. all this rocking makes me feel like I’m on a boat.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I second that zzzzzz…..
Love the Flaming Lips, but man, was that ever boring.
Ok…

pretty much the coolest thing I could see before leaving for Graduation.
what is the music loop in the background?
thanks for the link Scott.
that was awesome. thanks for the link. i love wayne. he’s definitely my favorite celebrity from my home state of oklahoma. he still even lives in the same ghetto he grew up in. i almost went to that high school too. weird.
p.s. if anyone still hasn’t see the flaming lips DVD, i highly recommend it. it’s great.
The music is from “My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion” from At War With the Mystics. I can’t remember the full title, it’s ridiculously long.
That was pretty incredible.
Personally, I was hoping for “wear sunscreen” and “dance like no one’s watching.”
yeah, that was kinda boring.
maybe he should have finished high school after all…
I graduated from Classen and helped pick Wayne Coyne for our speaker. The video was edited before graduation for content and the whole thing was NOT played. However, we all knew what was on the orginal. He was generous enough to visit us at our Senior Picnic.
Guys I think you are all missing the joke. I am sure some high ranking school district So-n-so asked Wayne to speak at graduation. Wayne being Wayne said OK and at the last moment sent a projection and sound crew instead of showing up. After the giant screen and speakers were set up and the thing looked professional and cool; that Administrator (or whoever) lets it go on. Imagine the scene: the lights go down and that video presentation begins to play. I?m laughing my ass off just thinking of it. I guess Mr Coyne has the same sense of humor. I?ll bet most teachers at that school still don?t get the joke!
Wayne that is f-ing classic.
