Perhaps, but even if not there is no denying that Heath Ledger's swan song makes LAS cinema critic Susan Howson want to cry. Yeah, it is THAT real!

Their verses, now contemporary summer classics, can be heard blasting from ice cream truck boom boxes around the city, prompting double-scooped, waffle-coned, water-plug-poppin freestyle outbursts.
