Happy Heavenly Birthday Tony Thompson, drummer extraordinaire. Tony famously sat in with Led Zeppelin on their performance of "Stairway to Heaven" at Live Aid in 1985. Interestingly, the band was joined by Phil Collins, in an amazing duet of drums on the finale of the song.

Some songs hit your ears. Others hit your soul.
Simon Le Bon once said that “Everybody who heard it could apply it to something in their life… but for a totally different reason.”

On November 7th, It’s The Groove Podcast is doing a rare one-song-only deep dive into “Ordinary World.”
