A Happy 65th to Mr. Jerry Seinfeld (04/29/1954)

Once upon a time, Seinfeld was a little boy (first appearance on Tonight Show w/ Johnny Carson 5/6/1981)

I see someone was cool enough to load up many of his appearances on Letterman ... I can remember an appearance in '84 like it was yesterday ... happen to record it (still have it in a box somewhere) and rolled it so many times ... thought it was gold. big_smile

... that part of clip starts at 10:34 - 16:43 ...  if your interested. big_smile

Re: "Birthdays and Whatever" Thread Version 2.0

Saw in the paper today it was Johnny Deep's 56th (6/9/1963) ... so I figure I'd link a song / video that came out a couple of days ago. 

(Not a big Depp fan ... I've only seen him in 21 Jump Street back in the day ... no movies ... but have always been a big fan of Joe Perry ... who plays with him in the Hollywood Vampires.  Not a bad cover of David Bowie's Heroes imho.)

Hollywood Vampires "Heroes“ from the album “Rise” out June 21st

And a Happy 58th to a guy whose movies I have seen and enjoyed ...

Mr. Michael J. Fox (6/9/1961)

Apologies to post a familiar song / video ... but from day one ... dug John's vocals on this track ... and became one of my most favorite Joe solos on this ... with the heavy drum toms underneath ... and a bonus to hear the duo vocals on a Joe track.

A thank you to those that keep up.
I agree in spades about Down Around My Place. Mr Hiatt is one of America’s great poets and songwriters and it made me very happy to see Joe give him recognition.

Happy B'day Jimmy Chamberlin, drummer for the Smashing Pumpkins, he is 56 today. Wow, everybody got old in a hurry huh ? I did get to see them on the next to last night of the Mellon Collie tour, with my two kids. They were sensational

I'm not sure if this is the one I saw on TV a few years back, I know it was in NY but thought it was in Central Park. In any case, Jimmy was really really good that night
