She's one of history's most famous spare tires, someone who leapt into a kind of substitute fame in 1967 when she joined the world's most famous musical group pretty much just after it had any real reason to exist. And today, Cindy Birdsong turns 70. Does that make you feel as old as it does me?

ReplyDeleteNo.
70...wow.
ReplyDeleteI always imagine her being forced to talk her way into backstage at every single show, no matter how long she'd been with the band. One supposes that's what accounts for Those Earrings.
ReplyDeleteBeing as her picture was up on my dorm room bulletin board in college (yes, I was that gay), I feel positively ancient.
ReplyDeleteAnd Peenee, I can only imagine it got that much worse for the poor girl once she had to start putting up with Jean Terrell on top of everything else.
