Slappy Mirthday
On this day in history...
In 1865, Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theater.
In 1912, the H.M.S. Titanic struck an iceberg.
In 1965, on the centennial of the Lincoln shooting, I was born.
Draw your own conclusions.
Sure, bad things like to happen on my birthday, but they reach their nadir the following day. The Titanic sunk and Lincoln passed on the fifteenth. Must I mention Tax Day? Which is the main reason everyone forgets my birthday (uh, yeah, that's it).
Let us look at some famous people who were born on this day...
Sarah Michelle Gellar. I never got into "Buffy," though she wins massive points in my book, for doing spots on "Robot Chicken."
Anthony Michael Hall. Well, I wouldn't exactly cross a room for an autograph from either of these two.
Ritchie Blackmore. Oh, hells (sic) yeah! Deep Purple! Rainbow! The best metal guitarist of the 70's that wasn't named "Van Halen." Now I'm all geeked up! He is talented, mercurial and he perfected firing band members halfway through the tour.

Procrastinator Junior masterminded this set-up. The letters in this pic are a little washed out from the flash, but this shows how creative he is and much he cares.
So, play "Long Live Rock & Roll," "All Night Long" or "Smoke On The Water" for me today...and fire everyone in your band for no good reason. It's the Aries/Blackmore/Procrastinator Way!
P.S. Oh, I forgot that Pete Rose was also born today, though believe me when I say that no one would ever call me "Charlie Hustle."

Slappy Mirthday to you!
I will wrestle the Deep Purple away from Son 1 to listen to Smoke OTW, and I will throw in a viewing of "16 Candles" for Anthony M. Hall at his Hughsian best.
The Baroness decrees: Eat lots of cake, and laugh heartily.
A very festive and magical birthday to you. May you get more than a case of the clap and a cold sore.
Have a great one, WP!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUBBALAH!!! I love what the fruit of your loins did. It's fabulous!
Wishing you a beautiful celebration today and a fabulous year.
Baroness,
Why, thank you , milady!
"Eat lots of cake, and laugh heartily."
I would except, unbeknownst to me, apparently I just got a case of the clap and a cold sore. So my appetite is somewhat curtailed and laughter has escaped me.
Catherinette,
"A very festive and magical birthday to you."
Why thank you!
"May you get more than a case of the clap and a cold sore."
Oh, oh, will I get raspberry mojito or seven, to dampen the sting of that double threat?
Chris,
Thank you much.
Sincerely,
Brown Lightning
Katie-lah,

Quin,
Quoting-
"Oh you...
just...
you."
I am overjoyed and thanks, that is a truly wonderful present!
Bubs,
Thank you very much, though I'd be happier if you and the boys down at the station would "spice up" some clowns with a little pepper spray, it would make my birthday that much better ; )
Becky,
A road birthday greeting, thank you! That is truly an honor and give Pat Benatar all my best.
Honey,
Thank you and good composition works as well as any special effect.
Happy birthday, and thanks for bringing to my attention I don't have any Rainbow since I lost all my vinyl in a flood. Or Deep Purple. Screw me.
Creepy,
Thanks for the greeting and for coming by!
I lost all of my vinyl to mold and it kills me, because some of that stuff was rare when it was released and a lot of it was never issued on another format.
I bought "Machine Head" for Procrastinator Junior on CD, but I miss my "Best of Rainbow" import that had all the hits before Joe Lynn Turner. They want something like $40 for it on Amazon, new or used.
A very happy birthday to you Write Pro. You are in good company.
The only person I share a b'day with is Linda Carter, you know, Wonder Woman.

Chelene,
Thank you and I understand, my blog has bored you to tears and has become virtual Sominex to you. I'll try to add some George Clooney pics or something, to win you back.
Pfft. I'm just lazy, dude. :)
Chelene,
It stands to reason that if this blog has an "A" game, the stands would be filled.
