Happy Birthday, Steve Jones Of The Sex Pistols!

Former Sex Pistols’ Guitarist and Radio Show Host, Steve Jones, was born on this day, September 3rd, in 1955! It is a bummer that Steve’s awesome radio show, Jonesy’s Jukebox (formerly brodcast on KROQ 106.7 FM radio in Los Angeles) is no longer on the air, but if you ever heard it you know why Jones is fucking legend! Happy Birthday, Steve!

Happy Birthday, Glenn Danzig!

Glenn Danzig celebrates 56 years on the planet today, having been born on June 23rd in 1955! Someone once asked me, and I admit this was a few years ago now, who I thought would win in a fist fight between Danzig and Henry Rollins. I said that I thought Rollins would kick Danzig’s ass, and I still think so. Happy Birthday, Glenn!
