Happy 77th birthday to Richard Thompson, a dark eminence and songwriting hero whose mainline into the heights and depths of the human struggle has nourished us for more than five decades. Here's a career retrospective I wrote about him over at Stereogum some years back. https://stereogum.com/1826762/richard-thompson-albums-from-worst-to-best/lists
Happy birthday, Washington Irving (b. 4/3/1783)!
Like his character Rip Van Winkle, I would also like sleep for 20 years and miss out on the next American Revolution.
