Younger Than Yesterday

To follow up briefly on yesterday's post, I wanted to point out how young Tommy James was relative to his peers - I think of Tommy as a late-60s artist, but he is actually younger than many of the titans of the Seventies. To wit:

David Bowie is older than Tommy James.

Elton John is older than Tommy James.

Eric Clapton is older than Tommy James.

Neil Young is older than Tommy James.

Rod Stewart is older than Tommy James.

Debbie Harry is older than Tommy James.

Steve Miller is older than Tommy James.

John Denver is (was) older than Tommy James.

Al Green is older than Tommy James.

Barry Manilow is older than Tommy James.

Linda Ronstadt is older than Tommy James.

So there's still time for the kid to make something out of himself.

  1. I owe Bill James a lot more than a quarter.

  2. Fair enough. I don't know about you, but I bought not only the BJ The Baseball Book annuals, which were actually fine, but also the Player Ratings Book annuals, which really weren't, just because I figured that I was still going to be way ahead on the deal, and I really should support him, even if he didn't need it any more.
