I decided a long time ago to quit making New Year’s resolutions simply because I cannot bear to be associated with mass organised delusional mechanisms at the best of times so why should I start on the first day of the year? If you wanna change, turn your life around, blah, blah, blah then just get on with it – who’s stopping ya? I’m sure we’ll all see the difference in the new you before the year’s out… well maybe not? Having said that I do intend to smile much more in 2012 and be more happy-go-lucky like I used to do in my roaring twenties – proof being that it takes 43 facial muscles to frown as opposed to only 17 to grin like a fool… but as Einstein once remarked, Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Speaking of which, Bono and U2 having been doing just that for more years than most care to remember (fondly or otherwise)… let’s look back to a time when they were shall we say slightly more relevant for a day like today.
Nothing changes on New Year’s Day…
