Pretty powerful speech he gave in 2013.

And his Banana Boat song brings back fond memories of a family trip to Belize. My family as well as my sister went to Belize for Christmas and the New Year. We were eating dinner out every evening and whichever restaurant we went to, the same band was playing...and they always asked for requests. My son would belt out DAAAYYYYYY OOOOOOO. Well for the first couple times, I guess the band thought it was ok, but then I think they thought we were following them and they frowned every time my son requested the same song. Anyhow, good times, great song.
