English musician Elvis Costello (Declan Patrick MacManus)
is 71 years old today.

According to Rolling Stone, Costello "reinvigorated the
literate, lyrical traditions of Bob Dylan and Van Morrison.

Released on June 21, 1965, the Byrds’ debut album, Mr.
Tambourine Man, marked the beginning of the folk-rock
revolution.

In just a few months, the Byrds had become a household
name, with a number-one single and a smash-hit album
that married the ringing guitars and backbeat of the British
Invasion with the harmonies and lyrical depth of folk to
create an entirely new sound.
