April 22nd Birthdays

(1870) Vladmir Lenin- He's known simply by his last name.

(1906) Eddie Albert- His acting resume stretches from 1938 to 1997.  That's an impressive accomplishment.

(1922) Charlie Mingus-  Jazz doesn't get the respect it should.



(1936) Glen Campbell- He was a "Rhinestone Cowboy" but I'll forgive him for that because "Southern Nights" was a great song.



(1937) Jack Nicholson- "Easy Rider," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "The Shining," "Batman" and "A Few Good Men"- you could call it a career right there and still be better than 90% of the actors working today.



(1950) Peter Frampton- He made his guitar talk.

(1966) Fletcher Dragge- Guitarist for Pennywise.  I like the punk influences that bleed through their music.



(1974) Shavo Odadjian- Bass player for System of the Down.  They've captured aggression in song to perfection.
