Alternative Milestones presents:

Alternative Milestones Episode 18 – What Do You Get the Coolest Man on the Planet for His Birthday?

How can Lenny Kravitz, undeniably the coolest man on the planet, be turning 60 this week?  Crazy.

As far as this week’s other Alternative Milestones, looks like we’re spending a lot of time in the 80’s.  I’ve got several other birthdays to tell you about (Alanis Morissette, Dead Kennedys, Visage, Depeche Mode, Tom Morello, Simple Minds to name a few).

And we’ll have a couple of in memoriam milestones as well as we celebrate some performers who are no longer with us.

And of course a bunch of cool music release milestones.  I’m excited to get into it with you Thursday at 1PM!
