April 23rd Birthdays

(1564) William Shakespeare- There's an ongoing debate most people don't care about arguing whether or not he was the guy who wrote the stuff he got credit for writing. I don't really care. He got the credit and it's too late to reassign the credit. Even if proof was inconclusive it would only make the headlines for a week or two (maybe) and then everyone would be back to talking about Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Then some a-hole would stand up to correct the conversation and everyone would look at him like an a-hole.

(1791) James Buchanan- He was the 15th President of the United States of America.

(1928) Shirley Temple Black- From child star to diplomat, I don't think any other child star turned out so well adjusted after her.

(1936) Roy Orbison- He made beautiful music.

(1940) Lee Majors- The 6 Million Dollar Man seems pretty cheesy today, but this guy was at the top when the show was contemporary.

(1954) Michael Moore- He's either loved or hated and in professional wrestling that's enough to build a career. It's when people don't care you have to worry. Personally, I liked Roger & Me, Fahreinheit 911 and Bowling for Columbine. I still haven't seen the movie Slacker Uprising which he made available for free download during the last presidential election.

(1957) Jan Hooks- She's an alumni of Saturday Night Live. That's almost as cool as the Beatles.

(1959) Guy Allison- The Doobie Brothers made a lot of great music.

(1960) Steve Clark- I didn't appreciate Def Leppard until they were past their prime. They rocked and drew the ladies. What's wrong with that?

(1961) Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy- An example of one, of many, tragic careers in professional wrestling. He was awesome. Long live the memory of Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy and the Asiatic Spike.
