So I'll just get stuck right in with today's famous birthdays:
Tony Joe White
Mr Kapow and I went to see Swamp Rock hero Toy Joe White, writer of such brilliant songs as "Polk Salad Annie," "Steamy Windows" and "Rainy Night in Georgia" at Glasgow's King Tuts a couple of years ago and we sure weren't disappointed! |

Monica Lewinksi
A very unfortunate photograph was taken when I was in High School in which I looked just like Monica Lewinski. Needless to say it took rather a while to shake that one!
*Disclaimer* This is not Monica Lewsinski's blue dress! Ms Lewinski aint' got this much style!

Michelle Williams
Of Destiny's Child, rather than the actress who used to go out with Heath Ledger. Michelle is 30 today which confused me a lot as I can't do maths and somehow got it into my head I was older than her even though I was staring at her date of birth!
You know how to find out about your own destiny though right? Ask Master Yoda!

Alison Krauss
Alison Krauss is one of my heroines! Sometimes I listen to her for hours and days and weeks on end and it makes Mr Kapow very grumpy indeed.
Not because he doesn't like Alison though, because he thinks that she's what you hear when you're dead.
