Throwback: Happy 74th Birthday, Fred Schneider!

We’ve somehow managed to survive through July so far, eh? Well, July is a busy month in music history.

  • One of the most important figures of the blues, Chicago blues especially, Willie Dixon was born on this day 110 years ago
  • James Cotton was born on this day 90 years ago
  • Syl Johnson was born on this day 89 years ago

The B-52s Fred Schneider celebrates his 74th birthday today. I’ve been a huge B52s fan since the 80s and much of their music has been a part of my life’s soundtrack, as well as DJ sets.

Happy birthday, Fred! May there be many, many more!
