In the 90s we stopped by their hotel, the Clarence in the Temple Bar area of Dublin, kinda cool.

Cheers & here's to things improving in 2018!

As soon a I wake on January 1st i hit play and it's the only song i hear until- well, until I don't "hear" it anymore and move on...

usually silence for an hour or so. Usually about Noon.

Been doing it every New Years Day since 1/1/1988....

First day I got sober. I woke and played this over and over until I left to my first AA meeting.

30 years ago today. 'amn!

Nothing changes New Years Day.

They kicked ass then and helped me through the Reagan years. They still kick ass now. Thanks for the post!
