It’s been a stellar week for celebrity commencement speeches. So far we’ve seen the likes of Will Ferrell at USC, Helen Mirren at Tulane, Theo Epstein at Yale, and yesterday we were treated to Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard. Of these four I still think that Theo Epstein delivered the best one. However, it’s tough to deny that any sage advice coming from Mark Zuckerberg is the kind you should be taking. But even though Mark Zuckerberg, Harvard’s most famous dropout other than Bill Gates was standing at the podium, it was another older, wiser, and other worldly guy on the stage that got what was probably the best moment of the day.
Legendary composer John Williams was on hand to witness student group “Harvard Din and Tonics” give an a cappella performance of famed composer and honoree John Williams most beloved scores, including Star Wars, Jaws, and Indiana Jones. I think you’ll be quite amused by both videos.
Here’s the tribute
