Melanoma is no laughing matter. That said, please understand the symbolic value of us braving 2nd and 3rd degree sunburns to see AIR’s last Toronto show. Not only did we learn valuable lessons about sunscreen that day, but we also learned that AIR are a phenomenal live act. The show was really incredible.
