Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

In Music, 70 is the New 60-- Part 1

From Rob O'Connor's April 9th List of the Day "70--the New 65?: Musical Artists turning 70 This Year."

Rob started off talking about three actors from my all-time favorite sitcom, "WKRP in Cincinnati."  Hey, it was radio and music, how could I not like that?

Anyway, Frank Bonner (Herb Tarlek) just turned 70.  Last year, two others, Howard Hesseman (Johnny fever) and Richard Sanders (Les Nessman) did the same.

These 25 have or will turn 70 this year.  I know who most are::

25.  Country Joe McDonald, Jan. 1
24.  Marty Balin, Jan. 30 Jefferson Airplane
23.  Graham Nash, Feb. 2
22.  Cory Wells, Feb. 5 Three Dog Night
21.  Carole King, Feb. 9

20.  Peter Tork, Feb. 13 The oldest Monkee
19.  Lou Reed, Mar. 2
18.  John Cale, Mar. 9
17.  Aretha Franklin, March 25
16.  Leon Russell, April 2

15.  Chuck Negron, June 8 Three Dog Night
14.  Paul McCartney, June 18

More to Come.  --RoadDog
