Soldier Boy

by the Shirelles was Number One in the charts the week I was born. What significance it has for my personality I can only guess at, but the idea that it has any at all is the tongue-in-cheek basis of the new book Popstrology, a system for achieving self-awareness through study of the pop charts.

Unfortunately, it uses the U.S. charts, not the British ones, but, as I said below about Saint Malachy, does that in any way alter its predictive power?
