A favorite New Year's tune from an old favorite band. The reference to "end of '89" is problematic for covering it today, I guess, but it's otherwise a good song for the occasion.

Can't top that, Scott. If you hadn't done it, I would have. Happy New Year. 🥂🍾

Yeah, that could be fun. Would it be a "Magical Mystery Tour"? 😉

Only around Liverpool! 🤣

Probably not, unless it was something that affected my general well-being.

This video dropped into my inbox today from the young drummer, Sina. A clever video, in my opinion.

There is one... enough said.

WYE take a mystery tour?

Both. I like to plan to a degree but never set it in stone. Sometimes, though, it is good to just wander aimlessly and take in the views.

City break or Sun, Sea, and Sand?

And Tommy singing it in the familiar English version. This was his final Christmas video for this year. I am not usually crazy about rock and pop singers singing this one. It really needs a voice with a some range and skill. However, between Tommy's two versions and Floor Jansen's performance of the Finnish version from a few years back, I am realizing that the better metal singers can pull it off.

I wonder if it is because metal singers do have the power it needs.

This was the version that made me fall in love with it, even without Karen's wonderful voice.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. Peace and love to all.
