Since the release of War by one of our then-favorite bands, U2, my good friend, Rob, and I have followed a somewhat ridiculous tradition of calling each other on the day in question to obnoxiously sing the chorus of same down the phone in a hoarily histrionic manner. It's silly, but still fun. Take a gander at how dead cool they look in that video, all big Cold War coats and black boots. What the hell happened? Bono is sporting a pair of rose-colored wraparounds on the latest cover of TIME and looks about as cool as Rip Taylor. Then again, around the era of U2's War (1983), I looked like this, so I should probably just shut up.
Happy 2006, everyone!
