• New Year Song

  December 31st, 2001 |

  I was thinking about Auld Lang Syne. It’s one of those songs that brings a smile and occasionally a tear. As I thought about it, I wondered if there were any other New Year songs to post and didn’t find any notable ones on the Web. The Auld Lang Syne means "old long ago." Robert Burns [...]

• Die, form, DIE!

  December 29th, 2001 | Tags: Leftovers
