Line 19:
In 1998, Schmich published the column as a book, ''[[Wear Sunscreen]]''. In 1999, [[Baz Luhrmann]] released a song called "[[Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)]]" in which this column is read word for word as written by Schmich, who gave permission and receives royalties. This song was a number one hit in several countries.
== "Do one thing every day that scares you." ==
Schmich's June 1, 1997 column (as well as the Baz Luhrmann song based on it) includes the sentence:
<blockquote>Do one thing every day that scares you.</blockquote>
