Today’s musical birthdays: Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo — the inspiration for my T-shirt that reads ‘I waited three hours to interview Lars Ulrich and I got was 20 lousy minutes with Robert Trujillo’ — turns 58, while ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic is 63 and Dwight Yoakam is 66. Other big events on this day: Stevie Wonder recorded his first Motown single in 1962, The Beatles recorded I Wanna Be Your Man and Bob Dylan recorded The Times They Are A-Changin’ on the same day in 1963, The Jimi Hendrix Experience recorded Hey Joe in 1966, and Def Leppard played three gigs in three continents in 24 hours, visiting Tangiers, London and Vancouver. While you ponder the point of that little jaunt, why not traverse the 450-plus new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes showing up any day now (unlike my Lars Ulrich interview):
