Mick Jones, co-founder of The Clash, is 70 today.

Happy Birthday Mick!

One of the greatest bands in history, IMO

Does anybody know any female singers who might be interested in singing vocal tracks on songs I'm writing? They don't have to be any good, just something like Gillian Welch or Emmylou Harris or Allison Krauss (I kid, I kid)...but an interest in folk/americana music would be good, and an appreciation for the poetry of Rumi would be balls to the wall. Any of you know anyone?

How the Grateful Dead built the internet

Before the internet took over the world, psychedelic rock band The Grateful Dead were among the first – and most influential – forces at the dawn of online communication.

I saw the best rock concert ever in RFK Stadium with the Dead and the Allman Brothers, but this my favorite story:

I was returning home in Chapel Hill from work in Durham. As I travelled up Franklin Street, I encountered a major traffic jam which was somewhat confusing. Was there a horrible auto accident ? What the hell was going on ?

As I inched along I noticed there were numerous folks dressed in tie dyed tee shirts and wearing headbands walking along the sidewalk beside me. I leaned out my window and asked what was happening.

A young man responded, "Its the Dead, man." They were playing a concert that night...

My favorite song because I had a Sugar Magnolia girlfriend way back in the day

Imo, that and Workingman's Dead are the their best albums.

Was this one of the Cameron shows in the 70's or the Dean Dome shows in 93? I was at the latter, the former were a little before my time..

I was at the former.

Yeah, I’m this old. This is mine and my wife’s jam… call it “our song”

Perhaps. Where? Does the gig pay?

My best friend's daughter sang backup with De Milo with Arms formerly known as the Fabulous Knobs

One of my favorite single performance songs of hers was a cover of this song but not sure that fits with what you are looking for...

Great "our song" for you and your wife ...love the Association who had so many great hits way back in the day

The other band at the time was the Lettermen and "Almost There " was the "our song" for my high school girlfriend and me. We would slow dance to it at various "sock hops" oh to be 16 again

Does she have any of her music up anywhere?

Not for a gig, for recording. I can pay...oh I dunno. One time I paid 300 bucks, but that included a lot of production, instruments, vocals, etc. PM me if you know someone & I can send you a link & see if she likes the song.

I'm just recording these for posterity, for my son. Very low on the ambition scale.
