Top Five Hippie New Year Resolutions

by sgraham on January 10th, 2008

Not all resolutions are hastily written on cocktail napkins or on the hem of skirts at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve (wha?  Don’t tell me you never did).  I’ve discovered the lost resolutions of some of our favorite hippie gods and since most of them have already started truckin’ down a one-way street, I’m sure they won’t mind me sharing them here.

Mama Cass
“I’m stepping back from the fruit pies!  Be gone flaky crust and gooey fake fruit!  My body is a temple now and I will no longer be eating meat…hey, is that chicken?”

Peter, Paul and Mary
“We’re sick of those boring protest songs, we’re moving into Children’s Music.  That’s where the big money is.  What do you think of ‘Skippy the Magic Dragon’?  Yeahhhh.”

Bob Dylan
“mmm ooooooooh mmmm bbbbb mmmmm bbbmmmm mmmmmm” (translation: Get a speech therapist, I can’t even understand myself”)

Janis Joplin
“This year I will stop looking like a fell into someone’s couch and came out wearing their upholstery.  I wonder if Bloomingdales has anything in a size extra haaaaaaawt?”

Jim Morrison
“I will NOT whip out my little Jimmy at concerts.  I will NOT whip out my little Jimmy at concerts.  I will NOT…”

 Grace Slick
“What the hell do you mean you’re not really pink?  Oh look, shiny…”

My MusicMates here at b5Media joined me in their cheeky Resolutions, I wonder what their bands are up to this year?

Toronto Unplugged gives us hypothetical resolutions that they hope Toronto bands wouldn’t keep.

HipHopRoll  already has some broken resolutions - boy, that didn’t take long.

Metal Martyr…well, they can’t help it.
