On June 18th, Paul McCartney celebrated his 82nd birthday.
For me he is one of the most brilliant musicians still with us.
Paul McCartney - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Performance at the Ed Sullivan Theatre, New York, USA 11th December 1992
There’s a biopic about Brian Wilson, Love & Mercy, in which he’s portraied by Paul Dano and John Cusack. It’s quite a good film, definitely worth watching.
Thanks for the tip 
Happy Birthday to Kris Kristofferson, who turns 88 today! He’s a superb songwriter, with songs like Me and Bobby McGee, Sunday Morning Coming Down Down, Help Me Make It Through the Night and To Beat the Devil on his resume. In addition to a successful solo career, his song songs have been recorded by numerous artists, the best known are probably Janis Joplin, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson. I propose a toast to Kris Kristofferson on his birthday 
Kris Kristofferson - Sunday Morning Coming Down
Now buckle up, tomorrow it is…Sunday morning 
The Highwaymen - Me and Bobby McGee
With this frontline, the last video is a little bit of music history. I was lucky to get to see The Highwaymen live in 1992, with Kris, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. It’s one of the fondest memories in my personal music history.
I have one more Happy Birthday today, and this one is for Todd Rundgren, who is turning 76 today. He’s known from a long solo career, and from the bands Nazz and Utopia. A versatile musician, who’s been doing garage rock, psychedelia, hard rock, prog rock, synth rock, experimental music and whatever one may want to call it.
Now, Todd Rundgren’s got a good ear for melody, so he has also recorded pure pop songs too, charting on a few occasions. The highest was Hello, It’s Me which peaked at number 2 in the US. Althought the one I post “only” got to number 11, it is still my choice, as it’s an old personal favourite of mine. Happy Birthday to Todd Rundgren
Todd Rundgren - I Saw the Light
To end this, it may be worth noticing that Todd Rundgren also has worked as a producer for among others, the New York Dolls, Grand Funk Railroad, Patti Smith, XTC and last but not least, Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell. Todd has been around!
Másfél - Varjú
Might as well throw in something from home. This is Varjú (meaning crow) by Másfél, a jazz-rock band from Hungary although the song is an instrumental (except for repeating “Varjú” a couple times in the beginning and the end using a didgeridoo apparently) so there is no language barrier. Also it has a fun music video.
You are right about that and a good synchronization with the music! 
It’s time to bring in some real music.
Wow, that’s cool, great to hear! 
If you did like what you heard here, you may have some fine music to get to know. I’m only familiar with most of Todd Rundgren’s 1970’s solo albums, which I can recommend. For the rest your on your own 
one of the world’s best drummers celebrates his 77th birthday today
here with a bunch of friends of him playing the old Fleetwood Mac song Oh well part 1
Mick Fleetwood And Friends - Oh Well, Pt. 1
Today it is 15 years ago, that the king of POP passed away, and with him a great artist, a great performer, a great initiator of charity, and a sometimes misunderstood soul.
One of his projects was a charity song under " USA for Africa " that I will always link to his name.
R.I.P. Michael Jackson
USA for Africa - We are the world (with names)
The song Oh Well was written by Peter Green. Fleetwood Mac’s history is legendry in the annals of Rock. Happy Birthday Mick.
