Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays...
Miles Davis, that very creative and influential jazz composer and trumpeter, posthumously of course. It's only been within the last few years that I've begun to listen to a lot of jazz music; so far I've gravitated to Coltrane, Mahavishnu and Miles. Kind of Blue is an amazing record, and I'm really liking In A Silent Way a lot as well. There are several Miles albums I've yet to hear, and I hope to pick them up someday.
Also, BSBdG's to Mike Myers. He's done a ton of great flicks (and a couple of not-so-great ones), but I'll always love his turn as Charlie McKenzie and his Dad in So I Married an Axe Murderer. One could, I suspect, fill an entire book with funny quotes from both his SNL stint and his films...and I'll bet someday someone will.
