Starting Programming

I really have never programmed before in my life. I've done none of it, but I want to start. What should I use to learn? SICP? I understand SICP will probably be overly difficult but I'll just spend a lot of time with it. Or will it be impossible for me to understand?

Alright so the way I'm looking at it now. I'll just learn Common Lisp. Why should I not start with SICP or C? Can I really not comprehend it yet? Or would it just be that much easier to already have an easier language as a basis before I start?
