Today is Ian Hunter’s 72nd birthday. We touched on this a couple years ago.
Of course, one of Hunter’s great proteges – Ellen Foley – will be 60 (huh?) on the 5th. I’ll reprise this piece on the subject from two years ago.
To observe ’em both? Their greatest moment together:
Happy Birthday, Ian and Ellen!
72. Damn.
You know, hearing that the members of the Beatles or Stones are really old is not such a big thing because I knew they were way older than me when I first heard/saw them. But I was (pretending to be) an “adult” when I encountered Ian Hunter via Mott.
72? And that cute chick is now 60? Good lord.
I think Ellen looked better with Meatloaf.
Unlike Cory Hart, I think that’s why he actually NEEDED to wear sunglasses at night.
God I miss Mick Ronson.
