So shouted the headline the other day in the local paper. I wondered who. Did Madonna tire of the English countryside? Was P Diddy bringing his fleet of blinged Diet Pepsi trucks to town? Nope. The former lead singer of ’60s rock group The Youngbloods and his wife are going to build a 5,000 sq ft cottage in Aiken’s Historic District adjoining Hitchcock Woods. Turns out that Jesse Colin Young married an Aiken native some 18 years ago and the family (they have two kids) wants a nice place to settle in. Even though they plan on living in Aiken full time, they are keeping the house in Hawaii.

The closest we have to rock royalty is someone from Rolling Stone Magazine. I can’t remember if it was someone in publishing or what, but they built this gi-normous home in Rostraver. It’s definitely something to see.
This is not the area’s only “Rock Royalty”, James Brown the Godfather of Soul was born about 15 miles away and served his minimum security stint after the famous high-speed car chase in 1988 just a stone’s throw from where Donna and I work.
