Hard to believe but another year has (almost) come and gone. Which means of course, that it’s now time to make resolutions we will more than likely not keep. Well, I usually don’t anyway, maybe you have better luck. So in the spirit of wanting to make the next year better in some way, here are some quotes from the musically inclined on what their New Year’s Resolution was in times since passed.
“Even though I’m only 14, I resolve to become a successful and famous song writer – which is nice work if you can get it. On what basis do I think this will happen? When folks tell me, ‘George, you’ve got plenty of nothing,’ I tell ‘em, ‘That ain’t necessarily so.’ See, for one thing, I got rhythm. They can’t take that away from me. And when you’ve got rhythm, who could ask for anything more? At least in the summertime, when the livin’ is easy. ‘S wonderful. And eventually, I’ll meet the girl of my dreams, we’ll move to Swanee and be happy forever ‘cause our love is here to stay. And I’ll never have to worry about being alone because I’ll have someone to watch over me. In fact, just to prove my appreciation to her, I’ll build her a stairway to paradise.” – George Gershwin
“I would like to stop worrying so much because I worry all the time. And to learn how to be happier, just in general. And to stop biting my nails!” – Britney Spears
“My resolution is to be as nice as possible to the press.” – Kanye West
“It’s always the same: to work out more and eat healthier. I’m trying to go organic, eat more raw.” – Fergie
“All my focus is on my son. Every day, being a better mom and learning with him. It’s an incredible experience.” – Ashlee Simpson
“I’m looking for the right woman. I need a magnifying glass! I’m trying to find that rare jewel.” – Jamie Foxx
“No bills in ‘09. Live off other people. We’re in an economic crunch right now, so I’m not trying to pay any bills. I want somebody else to pay my bills, so you get me like 10 [women] with money. Nah, I’m just kidding.” – Coolio
“I would like to learn more about the music and business that I have gotten into. I would like to get more involved in the writing side of music, and also I’m learning more things about performing and meeting a lot of new people that I can learn from.” – David Archuleta
So, what’s YOURS?
