Yesterday, Mr. Ray Davies turned 70, and it was nothing short of impeccable happenstance that June 21st was the longest day of the year. A fitting, planetary tribute to such a effulgent songwriter.
Happy belated birthday, Mr. Davies. I hope you were able to escape all the soot and noise of the city to enjoy a relaxing day at the Green.

Point to you, Mr PG. I had to look up ‘effulgent’. The meaning fits for Mr Davies hey-day songwriting… “Shining brightly, radiant”.
