The honourary degree recipient at my Queen's convocation ceremony was Robbie Robertson, which was really frickin' cool. The gist of his speech was: "I've done all sorts of cool things with my life, but it's never felt complete because I didn't get the chance to attend university. Never take this for granted." It was a great message to hear, and I would absolutely trade my degrees to have played a single song with Bob Dylan :p

I know! I was shocked to see Mr. Fay as well. Good for him for not dying it, though.
