Project for school- help

Hey guys! As you can see I am doing a speech for my SPEECH class {lol} and my teacher said it could be on anything that would inform the class. Being a ML fan I had to do one about him. The only problem is that it has to be a 3-6 minute speech and I can't decide what to say. How should I tell so much info in a few minutes? Thanks!

Mercury Blues,

You could narrow it down to one aspect of his life and/or career if you are concerned that you can't cover the bare bones in 3-6 minutes. I think the story of the his (first) comeback, namely the years between his bancruptcy and the Grammy for Anything for Love, would be most interesting. Or maybe a summary of all of his concussions (excellent detail of which can be found in his autobiography), that would be a bit humorous. You could add a medical explanation of what a concussion is to pad it a bit if needed. I bet it would be very different from anyone else's speech!

I did a speech like that in a class a few years ago, discussing the many injuries of Mick Foley (WWF wrestler Cactus Jack and Mankind) and it was quite a hit- people still mention it to me.
