Happy Birthday, Roy Wood!

"The heritage rock mags never run grand retrospective features, tracing his career from the Move, through the formation of ELO to Wizzard and his extraordinary, maverick solo albums, Boulders and Mustard, in the 1970s. He is seldom placed on a par with all the other revered idiosyncratic pop craftsmen, which is exactly where he belongs. If Todd Rundgren had come from Birmingham, if Frank Zappa could have stopped himself sneering for five minutes, they might have made records like Roy Wood."

The genius from Birmingham turns 70 today! The quote above is pulled from The Guardian, which has a great, little feature HERE.

If you've got nothing to do, after you go and vote, that is, might I suggest listening to Roy's "Boulders" and "Mustard."
