Born on this day...
1828 - Leo Tolstoy
Most know him as the author of "War and Peace", but he was also a profound advocate of nonviolent resistance. His writings had a great impact on Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”
1928 - Julian E "Cannonball" Adderley
Really, really fantastic jazz saxophonist from the 60's.
"Jive Samba" - 1963
1941 - Otis Redding
The name Otis Redding and "Soul" are synonymous... he was born in Georgia so what do you expect? I grew up listening to Otis since my parents were big fans of Motown and Soul music.
"Try A Little Tenderness"
1943 - Roger Waters
In the argument of who is better - Roger Waters or David Gilmour I will side with Waters. I know he is reported to be an egomaniac , but his ideas for theme albums and lyrics were pure genius! "The Dark Side of the Moon"? complete masterpiece!!!!
"Careful With That Axe Eugene"
1951 - Michael Keaton
"Mr. Mom" and "Batman", now that is an actor with diversity!!! Of course his portrayal of "Beetlejuice" is my favorite!
