- 1942 Roger [Jim] McGuinn, American musician (the Byrds), born in Chicago, Illinois
Roger McGuinn - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
During his time with the Byrds, McGuinn developed two innovative and very influential styles of electric guitar playing. The first was "jingle-jangle" – generating ringing arpeggios based on banjo finger picking styles he learned while at the Old Town School of Folk – which was influential in the folk rock genre. The second style was a merging of saxophonist John Coltrane's free-jazz atonalities, which hinted at the droning of the sitar – a style of playing, first heard on the Byrds' 1966 single "Eight Miles High", which was influential in psychedelic rock.

- 1945 Jim Gordon, American drummer and studio musician (Derek and the Dominos), born in Los Angeles, California [1]
From wiki wiki:
Murder of mother, conviction and incarceration[edit]
On June 3, 1983, Gordon attacked his 72-year-old mother, Osa Marie Gordon, with a hammer before fatally stabbing her with a butcher knife; he claimed that a voice told him to kill her.[7][10][11]
Only after his arrest for murder was Gordon properly diagnosed with schizophrenia. At his trial, the court accepted that he had acute schizophrenia, but he was not allowed to use an insanity defense because of changes to California law due to the Insanity Defense Reform Act.[8]
On July 10, 1984, Gordon was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison.[12] He was first eligible for parole in 1991, but parole has been denied several times as he has never attended a parole hearing. In 2014, he declined to attend his hearing and was denied parole until at least 2018. A Los Angeles deputy district attorney stated at the hearing that he was still "seriously psychologically incapacitated" and "a danger when he is not taking his medication".[13] In November 2017, Gordon was rediagnosed with schizophrenia. On March 7, 2018, Gordon was denied parole for the tenth time and is tentatively scheduled to become eligible again in March 2021.[14] As of 2020, he is serving his sentence at the California Medical Facility, a medical and psychiatric prison in Vacaville, California.[15]
