John Wetton

JOHN KENNETH WETTON Born: June 12, 1949, in Derby, England

It sometimes seems as if WETTON has played bass and sang in every great band that has ever played: KING CRIMSON, U.K., FAMILY, ROXY MUSIC, URIAH HEEP, WISHBONE ASH, and ASIA (well, maybe not all great).

THE INCREDIBLY RIDICULOUS MTV-ROLLING STONE'S 100 TOP SONGS (1963-2000): 91. NO DIGGITY, BLACKSTREET (1996) (I've never heard of them.) 92. YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG, AC/DC (1980) (Maybe, and I'm surprised that this was on the list.) MY TOP 100 SONGS: EXPRESSWAY TO YOUR HEART, SOUL SURVIVORS

POSTSCRIPT "Music, of all the arts, stands in a special region, unlit by any star but its own, and utterly without meaning...except its own." LEONARD BERNSTEIN
