Rolling Stones in Southampton Tonight The Rolling Stones are playing at Southampton tonight and we are off to see them.  Should be a good night.  Did you know: 1. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger first met at Wentworth Primary School when they 5 years old 2.  Mick Jagger is a keen ballet dancer 3.  In 1964, Kelloggs Cereals approached the band to take part in a TV ad for Rice Crispies which they agreed to do. 4.  Mick Jagger sang backing vocals and Brian Jones played the oboe on the Beatles 'Baby You're a Rich Man'.  In return, John Lennon and Paul McCartney sang backing vocals on 'We Love You'. 5.  In 2002 the band played at a private concert for a Texan investor in Las Vegas which also included Robbie Williams and John Mellencamp.  The bill for the party was $7 million. 6.  In 2006, The Rolling Stones performed at Copacabana Beach where 1.5 million people attended which makes it the largest rock concert held. 7.

Happy Birthday - Pete Townshend Happy Birthday to the brilliant singer, songwriter, Pete Townshend who is 73 today. He has spent over 50 years with the Who and has written over 100 songs for the band including Tommy and Quadrophenia.  As a self-taught musician, as well as the guitar, Pete can play keyboards, banjo, accordion, harmonica, ukulele, mandolin, violin, bass guitar and drums - pretty cool hey. My favourite - play it loud.  From the albumWho's Next - "Won't Get Fooled Again"
