John Cale: Belated Happy 70th Birthday

This notable date somehow passed me by until I stumbled on a link for an article from March 9th that began:

'As of today, the Velvet Undergrounder/singer/songwriter/producer/composer/cantankerous Welshman John Cale is officially a septuagenarian. He is still cooler than you.'

If proof were needed, check out this terrific, if grainy, vintage OGWT footage and here's a more recent, belting performance from a 63 year-old Mr Cale in 2005.
