New Year's Revolution

I resolve to turn in a new direction
not to..... not to..... not to.....
not to re-solve old problems.
Which I have decided are problems
that I can revolve,
as I do-si-do around the sun
looking for the
one more time
this year.


And in case you hate poetry in general, or just mine, how about this video on how the song "Turn, Turn, Turn" by Pete Seeger came to be and was turned into a big hit for The Byrds. And in case that's before your time and you have only heard it sung in church or your local glee club I'm adding a video so you can hear it (complete with screaming fans) as well as a modern version.

While you're listening how about signing the petition and helping turn around the misguided direction of the Japanese government. Today fingerprinting non-Japanese, tomorrow controlling the Internet. No joke; they're working on the law now.

How Pete Seeger came to write the song:
