Peace, Love and Happiness

Happy Birthday to Scott McKenzie and Rod Stewart.


Rod Stewart got his bus pass last year.  He's 66 today. I'll pass on his solo career (Although American Songbook is quite good). Maggie May was a great song though.  Rod is married to Penny Lancaster who is famed for being blonde and 1.85m tall. At least Rod has somewhere to lay his head. They are expecting their second child this year.  Rod will be 84 when the kid is 18.  Nice! Happy Birthday Rod!


Scott McKenzie is famed for the generational hit, San Francisco which is synonymous with the "hippie" movement of the 60's.  It was written (by the Mamas and the Papas) for the Monterey Pop Festival which arguably gave birth to other major festivals such as Woodstock and Glastonbury.  All the acts (Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Janis Joplin, Simon & Garfunkel, Otis Redding to name but a few) played for free.  Bit cheaper than the €250 a ticket Oxegen!!
