Bob Weir

...is 59 today - happy birthday, Bob!So many people find Bob hard to like, others hard to hate. He must be doing something right - at least people can get riled up about him! And hey, at least he isn't Mickey Hart (who you may remember from at least one previous post I have no use for). I don't know if the world could stand two of that guy.Bob's alright in my book for the only reason that matters to me - he has written some great songs over the years. He could have written nothing other than the Weather Report Suite and Lost Sailor/Saint and it would have been all good...Nevermind the fact that he put out the best solo album of any of the members (so what if they were all on it!), Ace, AND that the band played one of their best sets on his birthday in 1989...Rummage through your tapes, your CDRs, your .SHN files or whatever it is you use to keep your jams on, dig out some Bob and give the old guy a little love.click here for our Bob Weir MP3 picks
