Born To Rock...

Two musicians both born on exactly the same day:

Sep. 5th, 1946 - Farrokh Bulsara (otherwise known as the late, great, Freddie Mercury) was born...

"Barcelona", his duet with Maria de Montserrat Viviana Concepció Caballé i Folc (usually shortened to Montserrat Caballé, but what a fantastic full name!)...

and also on that day in 1946, Loudon Snowden Wainwright III, singer-songwriter, and father of Rufus & Martha Wainwright, was born...

A particularly embarrassing song to have written about you... "Rufus Is A Tit Man" (and, oh, the irony in hindsight!)...
