Birthdays:

Singer Bettye LaVette is 64.
Drummer Tommy Ramone of The Ramones is 58.
Guitarist Jonny Lang is 29.

Today in:


1983 - The Australian band Men At Work went to the top spots on the U.S. and British album and singles charts simultaneously with Business As Usual and "Down Under." Rod Stewart was the last artist to accomplish this feat in 1971.
1996 - Garth Brooks refused his American Music Award for favorite overall artist. Brooks said Hootie and the Blowfish did more for music that year than he did.

History Highlight:

Today in 1958, Challenge Records released the single "Tequila" by The Champs. Like we need an excuse to play "Tequila" ... but hey, it is our fifth birthday party here at The Current tonight at First Ave, so here's a little pre-party celebration ...

Have fun at the party people! Fun Fun Fun, and congratulations on 5 years and may there be 150 more. BTW, TEQUILA is spelled with one L. That stuff is poison, poison, posion. I'm sending you a gift.
Cheers!!
