Birthdays on the Tube, 6-12 December
Birthdays on the Tube, 6-12 December
Rob Tyner, Sarah Chang, Professor Longhair, Meg White, Booker T Jones and Alan Ward
An ongoing series celebrating musicians' birthdays.
12 December 1944: The unprepossessing-looking Rob Tyner was the lead singer of the MC5, who along with The Stooges were Detroit's finest rock bands. The best evocation I've come across of the era is Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain's Please Kill Me, an oral history of punk and its origins, which graphically tells the whole story by interviewing a cast of hundreds. Most of whom should have known better.
