A select few (birthdays):

Neko Case
Dave Stewart (Eurythmics)
Great Kabuki (sumo wrestler)
Patsy Cline
Peter Sellers
Jimmie Rodgers

I'm surprised that, for as many people as I have met that share my birthday (non-famous, of course) there aren't more famous people.

GD hit the main memories, I dare suspect.

I'd have to search to find more.

A longer list of notables that share my b-day:

Oscar Hammerstein
David Attenborough
Don Rickles
Sonny Liston
Thomas Pynchon
Bill Cowher
Lovie Smith
Ronnie Lott
Michel Gondry
Mellisa Gilbert
Bobby Labonte
Enrique Iglesias

You share my mother's birthday as well.

He meant to say, "And my sister was born one year to the day after he died."

I share my bday with Golda Meir and James Brown. And as I just learned, Levi Johnston, of Bristol Palin fame. :rolleyes:

Pretty much all the rest on my list are people I haven't heard of.

Yup. Challenger being at the top of my list. There was the space program before, and the space program the day after. The fall of the wall was huge but I can't say I understood it at the time as well as I should have.



Imagine explaining to Theo about a pre-9/11 world. He was born 8.5 years after it happened. I can't believe it's as far removed from him as the moon landing is from me. :eek:

Well, there is David Ball from Soft Cell
