HEARTS FULL OF YOUTH, HEARTS FULL OF TRUTH: The NYT did its annual round-up of commencement addresses Sunday, but since they didn't take the logical step of posting online links to the full transcripts of such speeches, I had to find Ellen Degeneres at Tulane, Billy Joel at Syracuse and Melissa Etheridge at Berklee College of Music myself.

Two notes:
  • Is there no greater sign that your school didn't get its first, second or third choice commencement speaker than that you landed Cokie Roberts?
  • Surely, the 2006 winner for Least Essential Live Album is going to be that fact that there's a third fourth Billy Joel live album, no? I mean, we're not exactly talking about Phish or Bruce Springsteen here . . . (corrected; thanks to 'looking italian')
