Today in musical birthdays: Mambo No. 5 singer Lou Bega celebrates No. 50; Mighty Max Weinberg of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band hits 75; the one and only Rev. Al Green is 79; Little Feat‘s Lowell George would have been 80; and Jefferson Airplane / Hot Tuna bassist Jack Casady is 81. Another big number to keep in mind: The 310-plus new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes arriving in the coming days — which nobody can deny:
