Glover Birthday Fest!

Roger Glover is 61 today. He’ll deny it, but he has a hypercryogenobaric chamber. An age reverser. In his garage. There’s, like, a room in the back. The garage building used to be a stable. Roger always says, “yeah, but we converted it. What the hay.” He laughs every time.

He also got 1/3 of Willie Nelson’s youth and energy in a deal co-brokered by Satan and the IRS. It costs Roger a few bucks but look at him! It’s not all hypercryogenobaric chamber you know.

I sent him his annual pack of 555s and fifth of Jameson’s, which I know he never drinks. So there will be a case of it there if he ever invites me by. My therapist doesn’t allow me to think about it anymore. I kept falling over from holding my breath. Sigh. Rock stars.

Here’s a Roger sampling on a Welshman’s birthday. Penblwydd Hapus.

Roger will deny it, but this animated Love Is All is based on some hallucinations I had during drug trials in 1971.

Roger in “the Hat.” This is from 1972. Of course, I wasn’t born yet, was I?

Roger with that other guy. Kickin’ it old school. Dang.

Roger produced this. I think. I get the Nazareth mixed up. How can the guy sing with his neck like that?

Roger Glover. 1984. Problems with the prototype hypercryogenobaric chamber. I’m in sync with the sound! I’m out of sync with the sound! Whee!

So Happy Birthday you hypercryogenobarically preserved, Willie-Nelson-charged rock star, you.

    Sorry, but you really get the Nazareth mixed up! But this one (Love Hurts) was definitely produced by Manny Charlton. But he’s a friend of Roger’s as well, so just enjoy!!!
