Today in musical birthdays: Pete Townshend of The Who turns 79, glamazon singer Grace Jones and sax maniac Tom Scott are both 76, on-again off-again AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd hits 70, singer-songwriter Sam Smith is 32 — and, in the posthumous category, ZZ Top bassist Dusty Hill would have been 75, while beanpole punk O.G. Joey Ramone would have reached 72. If all those digits aren’t enough for you, here’s another one: 380 — the number of albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes arriving next week:
