Rick Wakeman, enigmatic and Arthurian keyboard player for Yes, was born on this day, May 18th, in 1949. Favorite massively overwrought Wakeman-era keyboard riff from a song by Yes: the climax to “Heart of The Sunrise.”Wakeman also appeared as Thor in the 1975 Ken Russell-directed Film, Lisztomania. Happy Birthday, Rick!

Gene Simmons of Kiss turns 59 years old today, having been born on August 25th in 1949! Simmons may be a gross, arrogant douchebag with much less talent than he thinks, but hey, at least he’s rich!
