Happy Birthdays

 

Today, several artists are celebrating milestone birthdays. That's reason enough to revisit some of their songs. 

Let's start with Tina Weymouth, who turns 75 today. In 1981, she and her husband Chris Frantz took a break from Talking Heads and founded Tom Tom Club. With their unique combination of funk and spoken word, the band established themselves in the charts.

James Morrison, better known as Jim Bob, the other half of Carter USM, turns 65 today.  He gave as with punky guitars and a drum machine an incredible indie-pop sound. He returned this summer at full power with some great new songs.

Finally Jason Ringenberg turns 67 today. He brought us decades ago a cow-punk version of a Bob Dylan song.

Happy birthday to all of you!
