I know what you are thinking. Isn’t it a little late to introduce a New Year’s resolution list ? – Well, I reply to you, ‘Not if it’s an awesome list’.
Published in Boing Boing, this is a list of New Year’s resolution from legendary musician, singer-songwriter Woodie Guthrie who has inspired a generation of artists including Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. A few of the items in the list are pretty specific (# 16 and # 30) but there are also many terrific ones like #2, #15, #18, #20 and #32. Here is the hand written list with Guthrie’s original doodles accompanying the list.
