Happy 60th Birthday today to the accomplished singer-songwriter Aimee Mann (born 9/8/60). Incredibly still looking good and still releasing some of her best material in this career stage (2017’s Mental Illness), Mann’s evocative brand of storytelling makes her one music’s strongest, most consistent lyricists. She showcases people to whom we can relate, or traits we recognize in those around us, and has tone and song orchestration that is uniquely her own. Watch Mann perform “Save Me” in 2004 from the Magnolia Soundtrack and the DVD Live at St. Ann’s Warehouse.Â
