Aries

Some figures from history and the arts who were born on April 13:


Thomas Jefferson, 1743

Butch Cassidy, 1866


Samuel Beckett, 1906


Eudora Welty, 1909


Lyle Waggoner, 1935

Peabo Bryson, 1951

Garry Kasparov, 1963


Ricky Schroder, 1970
Turns out the date has produced many noted figures of genius. And at least as many known for their schlock appeal.
Happy Birthday DJ Pegleg ... the perfect blend.

Thank you very much for the well wishes, although I'm not sure how you can get the peabo without pulling down the Reverend Al Green.

Sorry it took me so long to get to this, but I've been actually *gasp* working, as well as just running around in general.

my bad.

Al Green didn't come up in my half-ass search. Sorry.

But it's more fun to list some of the B-list names anyway.

I've got Jesus, Sir Isaac Newton, Clara Barton, Cab Calloway, Humphrey Bogart, Anwar Sadat and Shane MacGowan ... but then there's Robert Ripley, Barbara Mandrell, Little Richard, Sissy Spacek, Rickey Henderson, Annie Lennox & Dido. Hmmmm ... nah, it looks like my birthday produced a richer batch of blood no matter how you slice it.

you're right, xmas does look nice. But on the personal, straight in my heartness of it all, nothing beats TJ and AG

How can you beat Frank Sinatra, Dionne Warwick, Gustave Flaubert, Sheila E., Edward G. Robinson, the chick who played Blossom, Cathy Rigby (a gymnast who made tampon ads in the '70s), and, oh, me?

But happy belated birthday anyway, djpegleg!

I just discovered I've got Quentin Crisp on my list. Nice.

Regardless, Jesus, Bogie & Shane beats Jefferson & Al. Sorry.
