I betcha next year everybody plays 1977 on this date.


not only is it Elvis' deathday, it's Madonna's birthday. Ms. Ciccone Penn Ritchie is 48. "Madge, you're soaking in it!"


I was skimming the IMDb births/deaths/marriages page, and Aug 16 is loaded.  Madonna got married on her birthday to Sean Penn, and two years earlier Paul Simon had married Princess Leia Carrie Fischer.  

Among the other birthdays you've got Steve Carrell, Angela Bassett (twins with Madge), Timothy Hutton & Tim Fariss of INXS.  Femme fatales Julie Newmar & Leslie Anne Warren.  Oakland native Robert Culp, tennis great Tony Trabert & Frank Gifford are all 75 today & Kathy Lee Gifford has the same birthday as her ex-husband.  That's gotta be weird.  Two key figures from the 20th century history of the Middle East, Menachim Begin & T. E. Lawrence.  And HOF Football coach Amos Alonzo Stagg.

And among the other people dying on this day, Babe Ruth, Bela Lugosi, Idi Amin & HOF sportswriter Jim Murray.

OMGWTFLOL!  Meat Loaf for breakfast 2 days in a row!  "2 out of 3", BOS 6.  

Bob is on quite a roll this week.  He musta spent his vacation dreaming up setlists.

"there ain't no Coupe de Ville
hidin' at the bottom of a CrackerJack box..."


And yesterday I heard "Bat Out of Hell" on KFox's A-Z countdown.

Bob had an awesome set today, but he did NOT play the live version of REO.

You Get What You Play For is almost as great a title as You Can Tune a Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish.
