A Happy 70th to George Thorogood ... (a KTBA VII (2021) artist.)

(Got to see him on what was a quiet Saturday night in 1985 at the Univ of DE .. when his Band / Crew quickly loaded in their gear for a surprise Show in the Rec Room of the adjoining Dorm .. quiet went to wild loud 11 at warped speed. Great memory.)

2/24/1950

Re: "Birthdays and Whatever" Thread Version 2.0

Happy B'day Jimmy Chamberlin, drummer for the Smashing Pumpkins, he is 56 today. Wow, everybody got old in a hurry huh ? I did get to see them on the next to last night of the Mellon Collie tour, with my two kids. They were sensational

I'm not sure if this is the one I saw on TV a few years back, I know it was in NY but thought it was in Central Park. In any case, Jimmy was really really good that night

Re: "Birthdays and Whatever" Thread Version 2.0

Just love this Song ... the Collaboration ... the Capture ... the Vocals ...the Drum Toms ... the Solo ... so (with my apologies) I repeat a Post from a Year ago ... Happy 68th Mr. Hiatt!

(8/20/2019)
A Happy 67th to Mr. John Hiatt (8/20/1952)

Apologies to post a familiar song / video ... but from day one ... dug John's vocals on this track ... and became one of my most favorite Joe solos on this ... with the heavy drum toms underneath ... and a bonus to hear the duo vocals on a Joe track.

Re: "Birthdays and Whatever" Thread Version 2.0

Happy Birthday to both!
In the interview I heard recently, the podcast of which i am waiting to get online so I can share it....IIRC Joe was asked what great musician would he like to share the stage with or collaborate with that he hasn't already and he answered Van Morrison. i only ever knew the hits but a couple years ago starting delving in deeper to his newer releases along with classics i hadn't heard before. Much respect and admiration.

and love Squeeze too....that song Tempted is like my personal blues song big_smile

A very happy birthday to Bob Weir who is 73 today. If you have never read The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test with the Merry Pranksters bus trip it is a good read, written by Tom Wolfe .............. hard to believe they all lived through that
