I was 14 when The Complete Beatles Chronicle came out so naturally I decided to flick through and look up what the Beatles did on my birthday each year.
When I found out they wrote, recorded and mixed the song Birthday on that date (a decade before I was born) I was astounded and have practically lived on that fact ever since.
Then I found out Jimi Hendrix died on that day, 8 years before I was born which was a downer.
Anyway this year I finally got Bobby's book and read it...
...Holy Moly my birthday also gets to be the day he played his first Hollies gig!
15 years before I was born but still!
So today is his 60th anniversary as a Hollie.
Wonder if they'll mention it on their tour which has now started?
