Rock N Roll Birthdays

[TimothyBFan]

I thought I would start a new thread of Rock N Roll birthdays. I know I posted Eric Burdon's birthday yesterday but thought it would be kinda cool to have a thread dedicated to these. Feel free to add whenever you know of one.

I will start out with today's...

Steve Winwood turns 61 today (LOVE him!!)

Another musician (although not a rock'n'roller) born on May 12 is Burt Bacharach. He's more famous for songwriting than singing, but for those who don't recognize the name, he wrote What the World Needs Now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS0f5D3_Mao), Alfie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hUhtLYhlhE), (They Long to Be) Close to You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6inwzOooXRU), Always Something There to Remind Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KysD1mPg1is), I Say a Little Prayer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STKkWj2WpWM), Do You Know the Way to San Jose (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mkj0qWBUb0), Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t30cX6OGO0U), Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDYAXKM828U), That's What Friends Are For (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGbnua2kSa8), and On My Own (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVvsWiT6ous), among others.

Here's a medley from 1967 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNPIQAPpSYQ).

[TimothyBFan]

No problem Soda--You know all things Rock n Roll are my passion and I love doing these kind of "tribute" things to the people involved in it. I just hope I'm not boring everybody with it.

[Prettymaid]

You're not boring me Willie - I just don't have the patience to look up birthdays - even of my faves! Glad you're keeping track!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I like this thread and appreciate you keeping track, Willie. Unfortunately, my time on the board has been very limited here lately and I don't always have time to respond. But ...

Happy Birthday to all of you rock 'n rollers!!!!

[Freypower]

I have one. If I post any of these remember I am a day ahead of the US.

So today (May 20) is Joe Cocker's birthday - he's 65.

[Koala]

This thread is is not boring, it is interesting, I read him very well and look in addition the most of the videos too.

[eaglesvet]

Willie, I had heard about Dusty Hill on Tuesday on the radio, and was trying to remember to post it when I got home...but then promptly forgot. One day, I'll get one posted before you! I just don't know how to post a video, though.

[TimothyBFan]

Thanks Julie--Right Joe Cocker 65 today!

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite female singers!:cheers:

[TimothyBFan]

Love her--what a class act she is!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVIE!!!!

I told Soda on the phone yesterday I didn't figure I would be posting this birthday that I would leave it up to "someone else". :hilarious: She did a great tribute!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Happy Birthday Stevie, and thanks for the videos Soda. Fleetwood Mac is my 2nd favorite 70's band.

And TBF, thanks for keeping up with this thread. I missed Bernie Taupin's and Bob Dylan's birthdays, so a very happy belated birthday to them as well. Geez, it seems impossible to think Dylan is 68 years old.

And OMG, Bernie Taupin, Bob Dylan, and Stevie Nicks all having birthdays so close together - three true rock 'n roll icons to be sure.

Good one today.

Michelle Phillips of the Mamas And The Papas turns 65 today.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sN91ggtocc

Out of curiousity---California Dreamin', when they get to this part...

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
Got down on my knees

how many of you sing the next verse as "and I began to pray"? It's actually "and I pretend to pray". I just found that out in the last year and was very surprised. I really thought it was began not pretend.

Just a little trivia.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghwwVaqqTJE

[MikeA]

Good Catch Willie! Like you, I've always sang that using "began to pray".

Very significant song for me. Back in 1966 or 67 I had volunteered for the Army and had failed the physical and had nothing planned for that possibility! I mean NO ONE failed the Army Physical unless they had a missing limb or something!

Anyway, I had taken a job in a furniture factory building cabinets for Television Sets (Curtis Mathis!) It was noisy in there with all the saws and planers. I was sick of Arkansas and things were happening in California. I'd sing that Mama's and Papas song all night long dreaming about getting a motorcycle and making the ride to the West Coast! I should have been thinking about the saws I was operating because about the time I got to "got down on my knees!" I almost chopped two fingers off on a radial arm saw!

Fingers were salvaged with some skin grafts and the Dr. must have done a pretty good job....left hand and I can still sort of play a guitar. Hmmm, never thought about it before, maybe that's why I can't play fast <LOL>

Never did make it to California but that song remained one of my favorites. And I've always sung it wrong.

[Koala]

Thanks for posting these songs TBF, I like both songs since I heard it for the first time!

[Freypower]

Re California Dreamin' I've always known it's 'and I pretend/pretended to pray'. (It should really be 'pretended' as its past tense.

[TimothyBFan]

Big one for me today---I LOVE this guy.

Boz Scaggs turns 65 today!

Check out the backup guys--3 members of Toto including the late Jeff Pocaro.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Brlp57fZ6A

This is my fave Boz video...Again has Jeff Pocaro in it at a very YOUNG age!

Here's a good one for all you guitar lovers/players...

Les Paul turns 95 today!!!!

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/williehoo/lespaul.jpg

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Sorry, I haven't been able to keep up with this thread, but hope everyone I missed had very Happy Birthdays!

And wow - Les Paul is 95 years young! I had no idea. Hope he has many more!

[TimothyBFan]

A couple worth mentioning today.

Frank Beard, drummer for ZZ Top, is 60 today

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOiBtdZNZMs

And Donnie Van Zant of 38 Special is 57

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEPCXwVHcsQ
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMxqPRdR36I)

[Prettymaid]

Willie, it wouldn't let me watch the .38 Special one, however, I know Hold On Loosely by heart. I love it! When I get to karaoke, which isn't often anymore, that is my song - I always do it! I know it's a boys song but it's in my range and I can really rock it!

[cynd1231]

Hugh Laurie ("House") is celebrating a birthday today. You Brits are SO lucky........

And Sunday (6/14) Boy George will be 47! I need to send my daughter an email about that and see what she has to say. I spent a lot of time listening to his music when my kids were teens, although my daughter was a Duran Duran devotee.

[MikeA]

Les Paul turns 95 today!!!!


And as far as I know, Mr. Paul is still kickin' it on those slabs of mahogany he is so famous for!

I played Blackjack with Billy Gibons and Dusty Hill at Ameristar in Kansas City a few years ago. Sort of funny. You'd thing "Rock Stars" would be high rollers. These guys were playing at a $5 table and betting minimums....but they did seem to know how to play the game!

They had just finished performing there and I guess were winding down.

Are you frickin' kidding me???? Did you :bow: and tell them "I'm not worthy"? I sure would have! I'm not a huge fan but those guys are rock legends!!

[MikeA]

Are you frickin' kidding me???? Did you :bow: and tell them "I'm not worthy"? I sure would have! I'm not a huge fan but those guys are rock legends!!

LOL. No, no bowing. They are "just people". Freakin' talented people, but still, just people and they were out doing their thing and relaxing after work. There were just the three of us at the table not counting the dealer. The dealer had no clue as to who they were and either the rest of the gamblers there that night didn't know who they were are were too star struck to approach the table.

I was at the table first just playing one-on-one with the dealer when they came up and asked if they could play a few hands. Common Courtesy. We didn't talk much so I said nothing other than I'd been listening to their music for decades. Gibbons said "Thanks man, do you hit a soft 18 when the dealer's showin' that face card?" That was the extent of it. Good folks, but didn't seem to be in the mood for a lot of fans fauning over them. I respected that.

[Brooke]

The dealer had no clue as to who they were and either the rest of the gamblers there that night didn't know who they were are were too star struck to approach the table.


Too funny! Those two would be very easily recognizable, I would think! :lol:

[Prettymaid]

Too funny! Those two would be very easily recognizable, I would think! :lol:

But maybe unapproachable.(I would be too chicken to approach any celebrity, unless it was in the form of a meet and greet.) :shy:

[TimothyBFan]

Me too PM---I am so star struck all the time when I see someone like that.

Some people can just go right up to anyone, celebrity or not. For example, Dillon graduated with Sean Astin's (Rudy, Lord Of The Rings etc) sister in law and his wife was a graduate of the our high school so she did the commencement speech this year. He of course was there also with their family. We occasionally see him in the area when they're here visiting etc but my niece last Sunday marched right up to him with pen and program and had him sign it. I would never have that nerve! Same thing with Oprah Winfrey who use to have a home over near here, she'd be spotted around all the time and you'd hear people say they got her autograph or talked to her. Not me for sure! My daughter's dance group use to occasionally practice in the park and one day a stretch limo pulled up and the back window went down and there she sat watching the girls. When they were done she yelled "you go girls!" and they drove off. I guess they are regular people also but still, I wouldn't bother them.

[MikeA]

Most people are "just people". There are exceptions. Tiger Woods for example is probably the most recognizable person on the planet. He is VERY unapproachable. Saw him when I went to the US Open in Tulsa in 2001. I pull for him in every tournament but am not impressed by the way he has to conduct his public appearances even when they are not supposed to be "public". Security guards everywhere.

Don Henley on the other hand, when living in Dallas could be seen at the farmer's mart and other places around town and didn't seem to be too bothered by his own notoriety. In fact, before Hotel California, it was pretty well known that while everyone had heard of the Eagles, they weren't "recognizable". Not a lot of up close appearances on TV and stuff like that and it's hard to recognize someone who performs on stage when even the close seats are pretty far back relatively speaking.

Plus, I think that most of the performers have to have a "second sense" about encountering people who are going to make a scene and make them uncomfortable. There is nothing intimidating about me and not too many have intimidated me. Not as far as being famous or rich or anything like that.

I respect their need for a certain amount of privacy when spotted in public. If Gibons and Hill had wanted to put on the "star" act at the table, I'd have gone along with it. But they didn't give any impression of wanting anyone to be impressed with them. I just enjoyed playing BJ with them. I would have like to have talked with Billy about his car collection though.

When I was a kid in Benton, Arkansas (1963, 1964 somewhere along in there), I worked at a Safeway grocery store. There was a really famous country singer who lived in Benton. Charlie Rich (The Silver Fox) was his name. He'd come in to the store every couple of weeks and buy a couple of carts of food. Back then, the sackers (those of us who sacked up groceries in paper sacks) hauled the groceries out and loaded them in the back seats or trunks of the shopper's vehicles. Most of the customers would tip us a dime or quarter if we were really lucky. Not Rich! I never got so much as a "thank you" from him. I got the impression that he though he was better than everyone else.

Good thing I was never a country fan or I'd have quit being a fan of his <LOL>

And to keep this on-topic....Joe Walsh: One of the most comfortable people to be around that I have ever met. When I met him, I felt that where he was was exactly where he wanted to be and he had a genuine interest in what was important to those he was meeting. Joe is "for real" unless he's going into that comedy persona he developed to allow him to sidestep things he didn't want to talk about.

[cynd1231]

It's too bad that so many 'celebrities' let their notoriety go to their heads. The way I see it, they're just plain people doing a JOB and earning a living like everyone else. Only difference is their jobs put their faces out there where people can recognize them. I'll bet Don, Glenn, Joe and Timothy put their pants on like everyone else in the world -- one leg at a time -- and they're entitled to their privacy when they aren't on stage. How many of you have heard the interview where Timothy talks about 'taking out the garbage' when he's at home?!?

[Troubadour]

Thanks for that, Mike. Interesting!


I'll bet Don, Glenn, Joe and Timothy put their pants on like everyone else in the world -- one leg at a time --

I really think we need some strong, visual proof of this before we can make such assumptions...

Rhonda, you really need to resurrect The Long Story. "One Leg At A Time" is there for the taking! :hilarious:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I really think we need some strong, visual proof of this before we can make such assumptions...

Mike, I'm sorry but I think troub is absolutely right here. Some things need to be thoroughly researched - I mean we just can't take your word for it on something this important!!! :angel:

Now, as far as approaching celebrities, I am reluctant to do it most of the time. But I'm not saying I never would. However, I would assess the situation before I did it to see if I felt like it was an appropriate time.

[Prettymaid]

Thanks for that, Mike. Interesting!

Many of you here know my love for The Cars and the late Benjamin Orr--Well a few years back, some of the original Cars reunited, without Benjamin of course and Ric Ocasek, so they had Todd join them. For me, it was ok, but The Cars will always be Ric and Benjamin to me. These 2 songs were originally sung by Benjamin. Just not quite the same.

Today Arlo Guthrie turns 62.

This song is a tradition in my family on Thanksgiving. Every Thanksgiving morning at 9:20, the local radio station plays this song. We always make sure we are in the car on the way to my parents so we can listen to it. I bet we have been doing that for 12 to 15 years now.

Today is a birthday that means a lot to me.

Mick Tucker, original drummer for Sweet, would have been 62 today. He died of leukemia on February 14, 2002.

I have always loved his smile at the biginning of this video!

[Prettymaid]

How sad that he died so young. Lovin' the video.

[Brooke]

TBF, he's so pretty he nearly looks like a girl there! Thanks!

[GlennLover]

TBF, he's so pretty he nearly looks like a girl there! Thanks!



I thought that too Brooke.

[TimothyBFan]

I knew Soda would have a wonderful tribute to Bernie yesterday, but I forgot to get on here about another big birthday.

Brian May of Queen turned 62.

[Prettymaid]

And my favorite newer one - Boots and Sand

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-m5k_nW8mc

Happy Birthday Yusuf. Thanks for all the great music and for looking so hot back in the day!

[TimothyBFan]

Oh yes!!! A man who is just the epitome of a rock n roll star to me.

Slash turns 44 today!!! Gotta love this man!!! What a talent! I could watch him for hours and hours!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCplsXu1HRk

One of my all time favorite GNR videos! Loved this whole show!!! Not only Slash, but great opening drumming by Steve Adler! YUM!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7xQ04nlePM

Love this video--Slash and Michael Jackson!!! This is beyond COOL!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTa18Aq4-jQ

David Essex also turns 62 today.

Probably one of the lamest videos to ever come out of the 70's but song is great!!

[TimothyBFan]

Sorry I wasn't on yesterday to add these.

July 26th~~~

Mick Jagger turned 66.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuTiTfbfy7Q

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP2VyquMAaM

Roger Taylor of Queen turned 60.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irp8CNj9qBI

[Prettymaid]

Does anybody remember the original Saturday Night Live Not Ready For Primetime Players? Remember Gilda Radner and the bit she used to do as a rock singer, "Give Me Mick"?

"Give me Mick, give me Mick
Rock me and roll me 'til I'm sick!"

Anyway, happy birthday to both of these guys!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

TBF - once again, thank you for keeping up with this thread. I'm always hoping that I can drop in here every day and make birthday wishes, but it just never seems to happen. I do appreciate your efforts though. I have to admit that I get a little depressed when I read some of these i.e. Sir Paul McCartney turning 67 just last month, and now Mick Jagger turning 66. Unfreakin'believable!!! :shock: Anyway, Happy birthday to all the talented rock 'n roll artist whose birthdays I have missed!!!

[Brooke]

Sir Paul McCartney turning 67 just last month, and now Mick Jagger turning 66. Unfreakin'believable!!! :shock:

I know! And they're still rockin'! Way to go guys! :partytime:

[TimothyBFan]

Here's a great one I LOVE....

Geddy Lee is 56 today! Here's a live video--I would love to see them live!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYzGMxGq9rM

[TimothyBFan]

I missed a pretty big birthday over the weekend.

Saturday, August 1st would have been Jerry Garcia's 67th birthday.

My very favorite Dead song ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-EI-yid1NY

[TimothyBFan]

Rick Derringer turns 62 today!

Of course his biggest hit...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FV_ydNravU

Also with Edgar Winter Group
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQC1xodg-HU

And the McCoys (love it!!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGcj-R4hqVU

[Brooke]

lol! I saw Rick D and Edgar W in concert just, maybe, 4 years ago. They're still going strong! RD has changed a bit, but EW still looks the same!

[TimothyBFan]

You know me on weekends-don't always get here so I need to post this one today.

The Edge (David Evans) of U2 turns 48 tomorrow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ61jqKFo74

And Ricky Rocket, drummer for Poison, turns 48 tomorrow also. (Ok --I know, I know--I never really liked him but did like Poison in the 80s and still pull out some of their stuff every once in awhile). How can you not get a kick out of Talk Dirty To Me? ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3dGHj5Zzss

[Brooke]

I love some of Poison's songs, too, TBF! I have a dvd of some of their old songs and they are hilarious to watch now. I missed them back in the day.

Thanks!

[TimothyBFan]

Thought of Mike, Ticky and anyone else that are guitar players.

Leo Fender was born in 1909 on this day. He passed away in 1991 at the age of 81.

http://jodycarver.com/LeoFender1978.jpg

Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull is 62 today.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toHlMD50eYY

[TimothyBFan]

I feel obligated to include this birthday today. Some of you might remember how I was corrected by this artist himself after I called him somewhat of a one hit wonder on my Sweet board. :oops:Sorry, but I still think he is somewhat of a loser seeing as how he just got out of jail last month for 2 DUIs.

Anyways.... Eric Carmen turns 60 today.

This was the only song I remembered by him, but now know he had a couple other hits.
Boring!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaCU4w2HTco

And then there was this big hit before he went solo when he was with The Raspberries.
I really did/do love this song, but didn't know who it was... well till recently. :eyebrow:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGhF3QAOM0A

So, anyways... Sorry Mr Carmen for offending you awhile back, I stand corrected and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

[Prettymaid]

Wait a minute, wait a minute! Willie, is that Eric Carmen story posted anywhere here because I missed it!

[TimothyBFan]

PM--Here's where I posted part of it.

https://eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1327&highlight=eric+carmen&page=4

#40. Brooke and EV remembered him also. It's been an ongoing battle between Sweet fans and EC fans for quite awhile now because he posted some no so nice things about when he toured with Sweet on his board. The Sweet board members refer to him as "Mr Cardboard". :hilarious:

[sodascouts]

Aw, I hadn't seen that post about Eric Carmen! What a shame. I find his song "All By Myself" so moving.

ETA: Oh yeah, I had seen that and forgotten. Yikes, Nancy, that was only a few months ago! Maybe I was blocking it out, lol.

[Prettymaid]

I always wonder why someone with talent and fans would resort to 'lowering themselves' that way.

[TimothyBFan]

Check this out. Totally disgusting. So obviously drunk during the sobriety test. He's lucky he didn't kill anyone and like I said, it wasn't his first time. Stay off the streets in Ohio today in case he is celebrating.

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=08e_1221095507

[EagleLady]

Wow You'd think he'd learn the first time :worried:

[Prettymaid]

That was painful to watch.

[sodascouts]

That's worse than any nasty comments. I've had friends who have driven after a couple drinks but this.... wow.

[TimothyBFan]

Mark Knopfler turns 60 today. (and I thought of a certain Borderer this morning because of it!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2nQZPC2uTs

[Freypower]

I knew it was coming up but would you believe I wasn't sure of the exact date!!!:birthday: So it's August 12. And 60 is a big milestone. Have a very happy birthday Mark and thank you for the wonderful music you have given us.

My favourite:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-P4DVCsd70

And my favourite solo song with fellow Geordie Jimmy Nail:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whlxa7HH3IE&feature=fvsr

I could do this all day but I won't!

[Troubadour]

Aw, happy birthday, Mark! Romeo & Juliet is one of my favourites, too.

[Prettymaid]

Happy Birthday Mark.

That's a beautiful guitar he's playing in the Romeo and Juliet video.

[Freypower]

You can see that particular National guitar on the cover of Brothers In Arms. I can say that when he picks it up and those first few notes of R&J reach your ears, it is one of the great moments in music for me.

[TimothyBFan]

Messed up yesterday and forgot one.

Ginger Baker turned 70 (which I simply cannot believe!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etrvv1-27Yg&feature=PlayList&p=5684711C2DDDE0B8&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=7

And John Deacon, bass player for Queen, turned 58.

Needless to say---guess what music I'm playing all day today.

And thanks for indulging me here---that was so much fun!!!!

[sodascouts]

Hmm, do you like Robert Plant, Willie?

:hilarious:

[TimothyBFan]

You noticed? You think this is bad, wait till Jimmy Page's birthday in January. :hilarious: Which happens to be on one of my old best friends birthday--she dreaded it every year!!

It's just the whole Led Zeppelin phenomenon . Every time I hear one of their songs, see a picture, watch a video, etc.... I get all hot and bothered!! (did I say that out loud?) :hilarious: There's a few of those artists in my life (Eagles, Zep, The Cars (Ben Orr), Sweet and Jonny Lang) that do that to me. Zep is a BIG one!!

I know we've had this discussion before here, but I'll say it again. I just don't see how anyone can say they don't get the whole Zep thing! It floors me every time, but also like I've said before, I don't get the Beatles so I guess we're even.

[Freypower]

I hope Robert Plant CBE had a happy birthday. I heard my favourite solo song, Big Log, and also Somebody's Knocking from Mighty Rearranger.

He'd also be happy that his football team, back in the Premier League after several years, had their first win of the season at the weekend (I refer to Wolverhampton Wanderers).

[TimothyBFan]

:hilarious: To funny---Photobucket deleted my Robert Plant picture from yesterday! If it had been a picture of some bimbo in a bikini, they probably would of been ok with it!! Anyways....moving on....

Today Joe Strummer of The Clash would of been 57 years old. He died on December 22nd 2002 from a congenital heart defect.

Weekend birthdays:

Keith Moon would of been 63 years old on Sunday. I love this clip from the Smothers Brothers.

How dare they! And you are absolutely right!

[AmarilloByMorning]

And Rick Springfield will be 61 on Sunday.

We had Jesse McCartney at our venue a while ago and he covered "Jessie's Girl." I've never particularly cared for the song, but I was horrified on Springield's behalf.

Not to be foundlessly maudlin, but I'm experiencing difficulty deciding who we're going to be remembering in forty years. "Jay-Z is 70 today. He was known for such classics as 'Big Pimpin.'" (Sigh.) I really dislike my generation. I'm trying, but... Nevermind. Better cut off before I embark upon another diatribe. Off to hide from society with Pink Moon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Moon).

[Troubadour]

Aah, a few great rockers have had birthdays lately I see! Sorry I missed Robert Plants'. Pre-Don, he was pretty much the main object of my lust... er, admiration. What a man, and what a band! The epitome of the '70s rock 'n' roll sex god :thud: Don't feel alone, Willie! I'm with you.

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/170572/Robert+Plant.jpg

If I may add one of my favourites... So sexy, moody and atmospheric! Love this song to bits.

Elvis Costello turns 55 today.

Jeff Tweedy of Wilco turns 42 today. Wilco is one of my favorite "newer" bands-they formed in the mid-nineties. If I knew how to post a video of them, I would-they are fantastic!
You can go to YouTube and type in Wilco, and see some of their live performances-I just love 'em!
Willie, if you wouldn't mind, maybe you could put up the video of them doing "War on War" or "Jesus etc."-many thanks if you can!:thumbsup:

[TimothyBFan]

No problem Stars. I have never heard of them so always happy to see something new.

Willie, thanks so much for putting up the Wilco videos-two of my very favorite songs of theirs! I especially enjoy the mention of "stars" in "Jesus etc.";)

[eaglesvet]

I've loved Elvis Costello for ages! Happy Birthday!

Stars, I've never heard of Wilco either...how did you find them? Interesting!

[Stars]

EV, it was kind of strange the way I discovered Wilco. I was watching an interview with Neil Young on YouTube, and Jeff Tweedy was also part of the interview. It said he was with a band called Wilco, so I decided I would check out their music. I liked what I heard, and they quickly became a favorite of mine. I hope sometime to see them in concert-hubby informed me that they have played here in Delaware a couple times, so maybe they will return!:thumbsup:
And I also read somewhere, that they are a favorite of President Obama!

[Brooke]

Wilco has been one of my daughter's favorite bands since they started, but I don't know a thing about them. Maybe I should!

[Stars]

Brooke, there are plenty of videos of Wilco to watch on YouTube! Also, CBS Sunday Morning just did a nice piece on them this past Sunday, which is also on YouTube. Maybe your daughter will lend you a couple CDs too!:thumbsup:
Please tell her I said she has great taste!:)
And by the way, my son just told me they are one of his favorite bands! And I don't think I shocked him too much when I told him how much I love them.:wink:

[Prettymaid]

John Phillips of the Mamas & The Papas turned 74 yesterday.


That just can't be! :nope: :ack: :cry:

[Freypower]

Er - no, it can't. John Phillips died several years ago. In 2001 to be precise.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Phillips_(musician)

The song Mississippi remains a classic.

[EagleLady]

I think Willie Meant he would have been 74

[Prettymaid]

Er - no, it can't. John Phillips died several years ago. In 2001 to be precise.

Now that I can believe.

[Freypower]

I think Willie Meant he would have been 74

The post reads 'John Phillips turned 74'. To me that's saying he's still alive. Sorry to be a pedant.

[EagleLady]

The post reads 'John Phillips turned 74'. To me that's saying he's still alive. Sorry to be a pedant.


Yes, but I am saying She meant he would have been 74

[Freypower]

EL, I am not going to argue with you. If Willie 'meant' that, it is not what her post said.

[TimothyBFan]

And yes--as I usually put, "he would of turned", I messed up. Geeeeez!!! Shoot me for it!!! Thank you EL for coming to my defense!

[EagleLady]

Your welcome

Hey, take it easy, guys! ;)

I actually didn't know that John Phillips had died. :blush:

[Freypower]

Barry Gibb turned 63 on September 1 (and yes, I assure you he did! :hilarious:)

This is fantastic. I saw this tour. I saw the Sydney show on November 15, my 29th birthday. I absolutely love this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhFXRSsGJNQ

[GlennLover]

I love the Bee Gees, especially Barry! I have that video of Melbourne & have spent many, many happy hours watching it. I saw the Bee Gees on their "Spirits Having Flown" tour in Montreal in 1979. I made a special trip just to see them. Wow!

Did you know that Barry's birthday was also his 39th wedding anniversary! Quite a record these days, particularly in the entertainment industry.

Although I still love Barry (& the Bee Gees) ,Glenn (& the Eagles) has taken over the #1 spot in my heart.

[Freypower]

The second time we saw them at the Sydney Cricket Ground in (I think) 2007 they sang the national anthem of their homeland, the Isle of Man. It was incredibly moving. Maurice's death was a tragedy (in the real sense, not the 'Tragedy' sense). They wrote and sang some of the greatest songs of all time. I'm with you, GL.

That version of Whiskey In The Jar is absolutely awesome. I love that guitar riff. The Dublin audience yelling out the words - it always makes me wish I was 'real' Irish and not just descended from Ireland.

Going to do the weekend birthdays today.

Saturday the 5th, Dweezil Zappa will turn 40 years old.

PM-:cuss:Funny funny stuff!! :hilarious:

[Troubadour]

Aaah, happy birthday to Mr. Waters for Sunday! An incredible lyricist. Pink Floyd remains one of my all-time favourite bands. The second video got me. Aaah, Richard Wright :-( :heart:

[Brooke]

Wow, that Comfortably Numb video was awesome! That just has to be one of the most beautiful guitar pieces in the history of guitar! To me anyway! It blows me away every time I hear it. I want to just close my eyes and savor the sound. Do you know who the young guy is playing it there? Obviously not David Gilmour! He did it really well.

Thanks TBF!

[TimothyBFan]

HUGE birthday for me today!!!!!! I've made my love for another bass player pretty obvious on this board before and today would of been his birthday.

Today would of been the beautiful Benjamin Orr's 62nd birthday. Unfortunately he passed away on October 3rd in 2000 from pancreatic cancer after a very short 5 month battle with it. He played bass and sang about 50% of the Cars songs in the 70's and 80's.

Billy Preston turns 63 today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_DV54ddNHE

I had heard years ago about his relationship with the Beatles and I just found this quote on Wiki about it while I was looking to make sure I had heard right. I think it's very amusing.

"Preston is one of several people sometimes referred to by outsiders as a Fifth Beatle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Beatle). At one point during the Get Back sessions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Back_sessions), John even threw out the idea of having him as the "Fifth Beatle" (Paul countered that it was bad enough with four.)"

Yeah, that was near the end, shortly before The Beatles' "divorce". But WOW - the keyboards that Billy Preston puts down on the song Get Back - phenomenal!

Today, Joe Perry of Aerosmith turns 59.

You are right! Now, why do we think smoking is sexy? I'm always nagging (actually, I've learned not to cause it just makes him mad) at my husband to quit. :headscratch:

[EagleLady]

I think Because it really displays their Bad Boy charm :cool:

Happy Birthday to MikeA and Bruce! Long may they both run!

[TimothyBFan]

Linda McCartney would of been 68 today.

I love this video-they seem so much in love.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CFSz8ksfu0

My favorite Wings song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK9QVN0bpa4

This is just really sad if it's for real. Just because you're a fantastic photographer and married to an incredible talent doesn't mean you should be in the band. I'll let you be the judge.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoH9zP_n_g0

[Prettymaid]

Linda McCartney broke so many girls' hearts when she married Paul. He was the first Beatle to marry. But I think she was good for him. It's been written that after The Beatles broke up, Paul went into a depression and wasn't getting dressed or wanting to get out of bed. Linda's the one who told him to get his a** in gear. I'm pretty sure it was Paul who wanted Linda to be part of the band - not the other way around. Maybe that's what kept them together all those years. She didn't sit home waiting for him. They were always together.

Well said, PM. I was one of those young girls whose heart was broken when Paul and Linda married. But they were, obviously, soul mates and very much in love. So much so that I was also heartbroken when she passed away at such a young age. I only hope that Paul can find the same kind of happiness in his remaining years that he had with Linda. However, sometimes those are once in a lifetime relationships. So no matter what happens, he is so lucky for the time they had together.

Now, as far as yesterday's birthday's, September 23 is quite impressive ... Ray Charles, the Boss, AND MikeA. Mike, I guess the only explanation for the December 23rd thing is that lots of folks like to get into the holiday spirit a little early! :wink:

Paul was the LAST Beatle to marry. John was married to Cynthia, Ringo to Maureen and George to Patti, years before Paul married Linda. Paul's marriage to Linda pretty much coincided with John's to Yoko.

[Prettymaid]

You're right of course FP. All I was thinking was that John and Yoko married a week later. I stand corrected.

[TimothyBFan]

Lindsey Buckingham doesn't turn 60 until Oct. 3, so I'll post about that tomorrow! ;)

[TimothyBFan]

:hilarious: I put tomorrow October 3rd for Lindsey, Chubby and Tommy.

[sodascouts]

I know girl, but you stole my thunder! ;)

[TimothyBFan]

I'm very sorry. I'm just rarely on here on the weekends so I usually do them on Friday. I figured you 'd give him much more attention than I did tomorrow anyways. ;-)

[sodascouts]

Hey, it's cool. I'm just kidding! I think it's great how diligent you are about keeping up with these birthdays and I appreciate your efforts.

[sodascouts]

Well, after making all that noise about it, I gotta say....

Happy 60th birthday Lindsey Buckingham!!!

To the genius who can finger-pick an electric guitar and make it sounds like a freaking piano, have a great day!

Happy Birthday Kevin!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak6fZrkjWoA

[Brooke]

LOVE REO! Wow, Kevin's 58!

I saw them once back in the 70's! Don't remember a thing other than it was great!

[TimothyBFan]

Here a good one today. I wish my brother was on this board because he is this guys BIGGEST fan ever (actually has stalked the man in the past!).

Fellow Hoosier, John Mellencamp turns 58 today.

Pretty much the anthem for anyone who was born in Indiana! :hilarious:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGKNx21MpZ8

My favorite Mellencamp song I do believe.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j-aiDhJ1h8

I could go on and on with this guy. He's fantastic and feel as if I'm a Mellencamp expert due to association of my brother!

[Prettymaid]

Again, one of my old favorites. Although I don't keep up with him anymore, John Mellencamp was one of my many 'go to' cassettes back in the day. Happy Birthday John!

Here's one I always enjoy watching. He's a dancin' fool!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q17h75pMQ4

[Brooke]

My favorite JM song! Never saw the video before! That John, he's a dancer! Very cute! Thanks!

How old is he Pm! I read recently that he says he's over being a rock star and just enjoys doing his thing.

ETA: He's 58. Went back a page and TBF answered that one! Love, love him! I got to see him once. Would love to do it again!

[Stars]

I just watched Farm Aid streaming live on the internet on Sunday, October 4, and John Mellencamp was one of the highlights for me! He put on a fantastic concert-I wanted it to go on even longer.
I had the good fortune to attend Farm Aid in 2002, and JM did a wonderful concert then too. He is truly a wonderful performer. Happy Birthday, John, and here's to many many more!:thumbsup:

[TimothyBFan]

Love all the comments about John Mellencamp. Brooke--if you ever get the chance to see him, DO IT!! He's is as good now as he was in the 80's. Seen him several times and the rest of my family saw him this past summer and thought he was great.

Today Johnny Ramone would of been 61 and CJ Ramone is 44.

:sigh: Two of Jackson's most beautiful songs. :heart:

I see the Eagles there in Your Bright Baby Blues. Goes to show you.....no matter how many times they (Eagles) yank their videos off YouTube, they can't ever find them all! :nahnah:

[sodascouts]

It's funny you say that Brooke - I am the one who uploaded this (embattled illusions is one of my many YouTube IDs lol) and the other video from this show I uploaded at the same time - "Looking Into You" which was performed sans Eagles - was taken down, but not this one!

Inexplicable.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow - quite an impressive lineup of birthdays recently! I never knew that Jackson shared a birthday with John Lennon.

Happy Birthday to all!!!

Aw, happy birthday Jackson! :heart:

Willie, I want to thank you again for keeping up with this thread. I'm not able to watch all of the videos, and I don't even know who some of the people are, but I always try to watch at least a snippet of each one so that I can learn something! Your knowledge of rock bands and their members is amazing!

[Brooke]

Thanks from me, too, Willie. I enjoy this thread a lot.

Chuck Berry 83?! Amazing!

[TimothyBFan]

Ahh shucks guys! :blush: Thanks to all of you for letting me indulge in my passion here. I LOVE doing this and am thankful that you guys don't mind if I keep it up. Always happy to see others contribute their favorites also. It's so much fun and this is one of my favorite threads on the board.

[GlennLover]

Thanks for the memories, Willie!. I saw Gary Puckett & The Union Gap in concert sometime in the late 60's. I was too young to go without an adult so my Dad took my best friend & me. I remember him taking cotton wool to put in his ears, not so much for Gary but for the local band that opened for them, The Ruptured Duct Repair Service :laugh:!

[Prettymaid]

I remember him taking cotton wool to put in his ears, not so much for Gary but for the local band that opened for them, The Ruptured Duct Repair Service :laugh:!

Now that is quite a name for a band!

[TimothyBFan]

I really feel bad. I've slacked off the last couple of days because of all the Timmy excitement in my life. So now back at it.

Tommy Petty turned 59 today.

My favorite Petty song-he mentions us "Indiana girls on those Indiana nights". :hilarious:

I've been listening to Mary Jane's Last Dance all week. He has good stuff

[Prettymaid]

Thanks Willie. Here's one of my favorites, probably the first thing I ever heard Tom Petty do. At the beginning he's talking about recovering from a broken hand.

[dharma]

Hello all. I just found this board while searching for lyrics for Gilda Rader's amazing performance on SNL, Candy Slice and the Slicers. ( original 1979 SNL tape ) Of course spoofing Patti Smith. It brought me here , as on about page 10 someone mentions her BD. Does anyone have the lyrics for that song she sang" Give me Mick". They actually did a great job singing it . I can't understand the first part of the song, but the last part is understandable. I hope this utube video will load.

CANDY SLICE AND THE SLICERS, SNL, 1979

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMF7JrPHT74


Also I am a huge fan of Warren Zevon. Bd is Jan 24, 1947- Sept 7, 2003 (age 56)

WARREN ZEVON'S LAST APPEARANCE ON LETTERMAN-SINGING "GENIUS"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrsCBmgUZxc&feature=related




also a huge fan of Meat Loaf. I believe his BD is September 27, 1947.That would make him 62 this past September.

BAT OUT OF H*LL, (JIM IS ON THE PIANO )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBZDTK9Yhko&feature=related

That video should have The amazing Jim Steinman, his writer on piano. Jim was born Nov1-1947 , so he is about to be 61. My avatar is the picture from the back cover of the Bat out of h*ll album. What a team they were and may be again. Jim has written for many other people but he has wrote for Meat Loaf the most.


another singer I am really into is
Leonard Cohen. born sept 21, 1934-age 75. He is still touring and I just found him recently and feel in love with his music.

THE FUTURE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D97OxHZzBeQ&feature=fvw




To add Janis Joplin, Jan. 19, 1943, -October 4, 1970. Would have been 66 this year and just passed the anniversary of her death.

Dharma welcome to The Border! That was me on page 10 remembering Gilda's SNL character. Thanks for posting the vid. Are you an Eagles fan?

[dharma]

Indeed I am a fan. I have been listening to them for many years.
This a a very nice board and I loved the r/r birthdays thread.
I searched so hard to find that Gilda Rader snl clip. Even harder was Steve Martin doing " king tut".

:rockguitar:

[sodascouts]

Welcome, dharma. Thanks for the kind words about the board!

It's murder trying to find SNL skits on the web. NBC is pretty diligent about removing them from YouTube and such places.

[TimothyBFan]

Greg Hawkes, keyboardist for The Cars turns 57 today.

This is what he's been doing.

I will be out of commission tomorrow (at least in the morning-having a little minor outpatient surgery in the morning) so I wanted to get tomorrows birthdays in today.

Now there is a real little birthday that I will hardly pay attention to :lie:of a certain bass player who turns 62 tomorrow and since I'm sure there will be a celebration done right somewhere else on the board tomorrow, I will leave it alone in this thread.

But tomorrow Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane (Starship) turns 70! Wow!!

She is so messed up here....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1cfTMdjkYM

[Prettymaid]

It's just not right that these people I grew up listening to are in their 60's and 70's!

And who is this birthday boy bass player you are speaking of? :razz:

[TimothyBFan]

J D Souther turns 64 today.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPiJdlwqWqw

Gotta love it...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aG_XOMW2Mc&feature=related

One of my faves of his. And doesn't he look fantastic here? You will need to double click this one and go to YouTube because it can't be embedded but it is so worth it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHScgxuSDBA&feature=related

[Prettymaid]

No disrespect to the birthday boy, but I love the Eagles flawless harmonic version of How Long so much better.

And you're right Willie. That's a very hot looking Mr Souther in the last video. Thanks for posting it!

Happy Birthday J.D. Your songs rock! :headbang:

[sodascouts]

Wow, that man can sure sustain a tight close-up!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JD!!!!

By the way, aren't the different lyrics in his version of "Doolin Dalton" intriguing? They're only slightly different, but the nuances change the meaning a bit.

Yes, I noticed that too, Soda. I wonder which lyrics were the original ones?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN DAVID!!!!!

Wow, Happy Birthday JD! :birthday:

Yeah, I wish we knew which lyrics were the original on DD. Probably JD's.

Have to agree about How Long. The Eagles do it perfectly, of course!

And yes, he looks fantastic in that last one. I absolutely love You're Only Lonely. Breaks my heart everytime I hear it.

:idea: Wouldn't the Eagles sound fantastic on it? :sigh:
