Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday today, I believe this is the 'baked bean' anniversary?

The Boomtown Rats were so good last night! (Worth today's hangover!)

Ha ha! All the old favourites, but not yet... ; )

The Boomtown Rats were the first band I really loved as an 8 year old & were the gateway for me discovering so much of the music that I love afterwards.
I know nobody thought they were cool, but music is personal.
I can't fucking wait for this tonight!
So there!
