Retro Video of the Week: "Next Year" by Foo Fighters

As we close out this rather fucked up year, I thought it was appropriate to feature a song about the future, so I went with Foo Fighters' "Next Year" from their 1999 album There is Nothing Left to Lose.  The song is Britpoppy, and it was used as the opening theme song to the early 2000s TV show Ed.  The video version is shorter than the album version and includes some backing vocals that aren't on the album version, but the message -- and the delicious fills -- are the same.  You can use this as a theme song for when your family is begging you to visit, despite the fact that COVID is raging and they don't follow any of the guidelines.  Just say, "I'll be coming home next year."  And feel free to add, "assuming we're all vaccinated."
