I’m not sure how I missed the fact for all of these years that Queen drummer Roger Taylor, shares July 26th, his anniversary of birth, with Mick Jagger. Taylor made his first appearance on the planet in 1949, while Jagger was here a few years before that, in 1943. I mean Mick Jagger is Mick Jagger – the guy is just everywhere – but Queen is the band that were like a religion to me at a time (high school) when music can really, literally save your life. So I really should have committed his birthday to memory at this point. Sorry Roger! Happy Birthday, guys!

George Harrison, my favorite Beatle, would have been 66 today, having been born on February 25th, in 1943. I still miss him. Cheers George!

Happy 65th Birthday, Mick Jagger!

Mick: Young & Beautiful

On this day, July 26th, 2008, Mick Jagger turns 65 years old!  I always say that I prefer the Rolling Stones’ music “from back in the sixties” to the music they’re making “now that they’re in their sixties”! That aside, Happy Birthday Mick, you were truly Born to Rock!
