Bonus Neil for all my favourite people, scattered from down in LA all the way to Nashville, New York City, to my Canadian prairie home: ”One of these days, I’m gonna sit down and write a long letter to all the good friends I’ve known. And I’m gonna try to thank them all for the good times together…”

Remember that one thing that you gotta know…

Resolution #11:

Collaborate.

You say “Why don’t you go down to the record store?” I say “Every new band feels like I heard them before”

Resolution #10:

Find more songs that make my nephew dance around the kitchen, say “YOW!” and laugh maniacally.

I’ll fold the laundry like I want to, I might not even fold it up, I might just wad it up and stick it in the bag.

When you don’t care, you got nothing to lose…

Sing this in your head when you meet someone infuriatingly full of themselves. And get up and dance. And don’t be a chump.
