And As We Wind on Down the Road
31 May
Today happens to be the 35th anniversary of the auspicious day on which I first graced the world with my presence. In an exercise in runaway, self-absorbed narcissism, I painstakingly combed through my voluminous cd collection to see how many of them were released during that particular year. The list soon grew to impressive proportions, a veritable “who’s who” of rock n’ roll royalty. I’m sure all this musical glory reflects well on me. Somehow.
Anyhoo, to the pointless list:
