Carlos Humberto Santana Barragán is 79 years old today.

On June 16, 1965, on their second day of recording at Columbia
Records’ Studio A in Manhattan, folk rock singer Bob Dylan,
along with a band featuring electric guitars and an organ, laid
down the master take of “Like A Rolling Stone.”
It would prove to be Dylan’s magnum opus and, arguably, one
of the greatest rock and roll records of all time.
At 6:00, “Like A Rolling Stone” was nearly twice as long as the
average single, and its raw rock sound was way outside the
comfort zone of a label best known for artists like Andy Williams
and Johnny Mathis.
Bob Dylan (Robert Allen Zimmerman) turned 85 on May 24th.
Best known to his many fans for one of his most memorable
screen incarnations—San Francisco Police Inspector “Dirty”
Harry Callahan—the actor and Oscar-winning filmmaker Clint
Eastwood was born on May 31, 1930, in San Francisco, Cal. He
is 96 today.
