Pinch Punch First Day Of The Month – Happy New Year.

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…

Why? U2 To Headline Glastonbury Next Year. Why?

I shot the sherif but I didn’t shoot the deputy! – I don’t bloody care!

I’d rather watch Simon Cowell’s comedy freak show, the X-factor. U2’s current album is dire – read my review from earlier in the year here , and there’s absolutely no excuse for pushing this prehistoric monument of a rock band to the forefront of any festival, anyplace in the current world that we live in! I mean I’m all for freedom of trade, astral traveling and parallel universes – even heliocentric worlds but surely Bono could have turned it down and found his own solar system to pontificate to by now!

Why? Because I said So!
