Music Monday (on a Tuesday): Billie Jean

As you may know, today is the day that I turn 28 + 1.  I'm not quite ready to even think about next year, when I'm 28 + 2.  Not.  ready. 

But, alas, on this day, 28 + 1 years ago, at 3:18PM, on an Easter Sunday, I was born. 

Some other notables about April 3...

• It is generally the day that scholars agree Jesus Christ was crucified.  I did not know that until today.
• Jesse James was killed by Robert Ford
• Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his "I Have Been to the Mountaintop" speech
• The Unabomber was arrested

Hmm...not a lot of "feel good" news on this day in history.

But....

• Doris Day and Marlon Brando were born (both in 1924)
• Wayne Newton and Tony Orlando were both born (not in the same year)
• David Hyde-Pierce, Picabo Street, and Jennie Garth were all born

It's a good day to have a birthday.

And, again, on this day, 28 + 1 years ago, this was the #1 song in our country.
