and so it was


Today is my 36th birthday. I'm not going to spend it composing a lengthy and involved post about the occasion.

Let Alex Chilton entertain you instead...

The Box Tops - A Whiter Shade of Pale (from The Letter/Neon Rainbow, 1967)

And a happy birthday to fellow 3/13 arrival Mike Sterling!

Happy Birthday, dude! I saw them playing this in the rain eight years ago in Jackson, Mississippi. I was standing next to a guy in his fifties that was as excited as me.

(yes, I was the dork in the big star t-shirt)

Happy birthday, Box Tops lover! Big fan of the blog. Please check me out at www.myspace.com/thebramblemen where I am streaming our song "Fast Train to Memphis," featuring Bill Cunningham of The Box Tops on bass.

Happy birthday. You are exactly six days older than me.

36 is a bit frightening, yeah?

Many Happy Returns of the Day, & a grand spin around the wheel ahead! (day late, but still well meant).
Hope you had a lovely day!
