The Smiths Release Debut Album

The Smiths Debut Album Cover

On this Date in 1984: The Smiths released their self-titled debut album. The album – which features a cropped shot of actor Joe Dallesandro on its cover – reached as high as Number 2 on the UK album charts, where it stayed for 33 weeks. This record is amazing and it’s still one of my favorite albums of all time. The Smiths rule.

Happy 24th Birthday, John Fred Young!


How Cute is this Guy?

Today, December 11th, 2008, is the twenty-fourth birthday of my pal John Fred, who plays drums for the band Black Stone Cherry. John Fred is awesome and has the best hair in rock. Happy Birthday, Kiddo!

Happy Birthday, John Fred Young!

Black Stone Cherry: John Fred is the Hunky One with All the Hair

Today my friend John Fred turns 23, having been born on December 11th, 1984. John Fred plays drums for the awesome hard rock band, Black Stone Cherry, and he is just hilarious. Earlier this afternoon I called him up at his home in Kentucky to wish him Birthday specialness and he told me, in his nearly-impenetrable Kentucky accent, that he had been outside hunting. Rock guys who hunt. Hilarious.
