Just a couple of days ago her Runaways’ band mate Lita Ford celebrated a birthday, and today guitarist / songwriter and all-around bad ass Joan Jett – an undisputed icon of feminist rockerdom, for sure – celebrates her Anniversary of Birth on September 22nd (Born 1958)! Happy Birthday Joanie!

Happy Birthday, Lita Ford!
Lita Ford, guitarist for The Runaways, ex-lover of Nikki Sixx and former singer of duets with Ozzy Osbourne was born on this day. September 19th, in 1958. While I’m sure she’s had a little bit of work done, she still looks pretty great, despite probably having done more than her fair share of partying back in the day. Happy Birthday, Lita!
Keith Moon, Gone But Not Forgotten
Keith Moon, drummer for The Who, was born on this day August 23rd in 1946. The video above is a very nice remembrance of Keith. It still breaks my heart to think he left us so soon.

Happy Birthday, Robert Plant!
“Yes, Please!”
Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant was born on this day, August 20th, in 1948! I got to see one of the Page & Plant tours that he did with Jimmy Page a dozen or more years ago – from about the tenth row on the floor at Madison Square Garden – and, because I have such a vivid imagination, I was able to actively fantasize that I was actually seeing Led Zeppelin! It was an awesome show. Happy Birthday, Robert!
