No one is denying that groundbreaking artist Jackson Pollock (Born January 28th, 1912) was pretty much a complete asshole in real life, but we can still appreciate his contribution to Modern Art, I suppose.
When it comes to providing living proof that chain smoking and living inside of a bottle of alcohol can ruin your looks, Keith Richards takes the cake! Happy Birthday, Keef!

Motley Crue Bassist and one of the few modern Rock Stars left, Nikki Sixx, turns 50 today, having been born on December 11th in 1958. If you need something to pass the time, you can read my 2003 interview with Mr. Sixxright here, because it is just insane.
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!
Dennis remembers: “I spent my 26th birthday (December 9th, 1972) at the opening of The Who’s Tommy at the Rainbow Theater in London. Neal (Smith, drummer) drove us there in the Rolls Royce he had just bought that day.”
