Happy Birthday to me. As usual, I'll be spending this special day with my backup dancers and several bars of Toblerone.
October 24th, 1978: The movie 'The Wiz' opens in theaters across America. Michael Jackson played the Scarecrow and in order to learn some graceful movements, he watched videotapes of gazelles, cheetahs and panthers in action. Those were the three little league teams closest to his house.
October 23rd, 1987: Michael Jackson is #1 with "Bad", a song originally intended as a duet with Prince. Ugh, that would have just been... bad.
October 5th, 1982: John Cougar is #1 with "Jack and Diane". John sings about "sucking on chili dogs", although John says he actually got sick after trying one in the seventies. Hey John, that wasn't a chili dog.

Happy Birthday to Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders. On this day, she's special. So special. Sorry, had to.
September 6th, 1965: The Beatles are #1 with "Help". Should have been a Ringo Starr solo tune. Have you seen his beard lately? eeck. Help, indeed.
Happy Birthday to Al Stewart. By the way, Al is the one who really sang 'Year of the Cat', not Cat Stevens.
September 4th, 1996: The original four members of Van Halen reunite at The MTV Video Music Awards in NYC. And then - the Gary Cherone era took flight.
August 31st, 1988: Actress Julianne Phillips files for divorce from Bruce Springsteen. It's too bad because think of all the duets they could have done onstage while the E Street Band rolls their eyes. Oh, wait...

August 29th: Let's just all take a moment to reflect on the brilliance that was 'Battle of the Network Stars'.
August 28th, 1993: Billy Joel hits #1 on the album chart with 'River of Dreams.' Billy's second wife, Christie Brinkley, painted the album cover which was later voted worst album cover of the year. Then again, she did paint it with the brush in her mouth.
August 27th, 1966: The Beatles meet Elvis for the first time at his house in Los Angeles. It's also the first time The Beatles would encounter an appetizer of bacon fat wrapped in bacon.
Happy Birthday to Gene Simmons of Kiss. I'm sure Gene will enjoy a Kiss birthday cake, on a Kiss plate, with his Kiss fork, as he blows out his Kiss candles and wipes his mouth with a Kiss napkin.
