This morning's earworm. It's Mikkey Dee's 61st birthday today, and he's without a doubt one of the best drummers I've ever seen.

This morning's earworm. I miss this band so much... I saw them at the Barrowland a couple of times back in the late 80's, and they were amazing. There never was and never will be a band to compare with them.

Today's earworm. An iconic performance from Woodstock. I remember the first time I saw the movie at the cinema in one of the regular late night showings in Glasgow in the early 80's.... I wondered who this weird, crazy looking wee guy was. I'd never heard him before, but this performance imprinted itself on my brain.
