Whether one calls him the Gangster, the Space Cowboy, the Joker or something else, Steve Miller has added a new honorific - octogenarian - to his resume.
Miller, born Oct. 5, 1943 - abracadabra! - turns 80 today. As Miller once said, time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future, so show that man the pompatus of love.
Flying like a psychedelic eagle out of San Francisco with his eponymous Blues Band in 1966, Miller would soon enough drop the Blues to take the money and run with a string of hits throughout the 1970s.
Still one of classic-rock radio’s ubiquitous and unique voices, Miller is sure to keep on rockin’ me - and you, baby - as long as radio continues livin’ in the U.S.A.
from looking at the spreadsheet so far we are most in need of fans of following musicians and bands (or even just people with a passing interest in them):
⁃ iron maiden
⁃ steve miller band
⁃ yes
⁃ bruce springsteen
⁃ the clash
⁃ the monkees
everyone is welcome (the only requirement is that you’re a fan of some kind of music from roughly the 50s-90s) and there’s plenty of time left!! these are just the ones that so far seem like they’ll be the hardest to match, which means more fans signing up would be very helpful :^) if you or your followers fit this criteria, please consider reblogging this post!
remember, sign-ups are open through november 28th and anonymous messaging begins december 1st :-)
