    Question

    Anybody know when was Vinnie born? I'm thinking early 1950s.

    I'm banking mid-to-late 50's....which would put him in his "later 40's"....

    He got the gig with Zappa in April '78. If he was mid-20s then he'd be 50 or older and he replaced Bozzio, who was born in 1950. I've looked through a whole year of birthdays in MD and Vinnie isn't listed; maybe he's keeping that a secret too.

    I'm guessing since him and Steve Smith attended college together they are more than likely the same age: probably late 40s.
