There are five people I like who have/had birthdays on March 25th! Wow, what a great day for music! I'll highlight them one at a time.
First up is Richard O'Brien, who was born March 25, 1942. He'll be 74 this year.
Richard O'Brien is best-known for writing the music and co-writing the screenplay to Rocky Horror Picture Show. He also had a starring role in the movie, playing Riff Raff, the loyal servant of Dr. Frank N. Furter.
The video clip below is O'Brien singing "Science Fiction Double Feature," the opening song from Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Happy 74th birthday to Richard O'Brien!
Here's another version of Richard O'Brien doing an acoustic version of Science Fiction/Double Feature. This version is easier on the eyes.

@FourWalls Yes, there's a remake coming. Stars a transgendered "actress" as Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

I can't get into Rocky Horror. Believe me, I've tried. Still, the guy should be commended. He wrote a bona fide legendary cult classic.

It's one of those movies where, if I could only see the movie or have the soundtrack, I'd take the soundtrack. I feel that way about O Brother, Where Art Thou, too.

@FourWalls Oh yeah, my girlfriend watches that all the time. I have yet to sit down and watch the entire movie.
