Well, we survived 2012,
despite the Mayans, and the doomsayers.
It was a big year,
actually. Lots of 50th
anniversaries: Beatles’ first record,
Stones first gig, Dylan’s first album, James Bond movies, Andy Warhol’s can of
soup, the death of Marilyn Monroe, the birth of the Beverly Hillbillies.
Some notable 70th
birthdays: Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, Annette Funicello, Muhammad Ali,
Aretha Franklin.
50 years since the Cuban
Missile Crisis, 70 years since the Battle of El Alamein, 100 years since the
Titanic sunk, 200 years since the Battles of Borodino and Queenston Heights.
A big year. I can’t remember 2011 having so much to hype
up. 2013? We’ll see, I guess. ’62 and ’42 were big years, that’s for sure.
It’s amazing what goes on
within you, without you.
