+1. Not many of the greatest generation remaining.
You might not have agreed with all of Pres. Bush's policies, but there is no doubt of his dedication to the country in many respects.

Amazing how the current WH resident can make even a deeply flawed ex-president look absolutely statesman-like.

Agree 100%.
So now we are politicizing Happy Birthday thread? Go to Say Something Random and Highly Political if you want to make political commentary.

Hey! It's haggis' thread, so he gets a little leeway. I'll ride his coattails.

Love you guys! Point taken, thislintom. And support much appreciated, PH!
So, how about happy 77th to Marv Albert?! That's how old the man is, but not sure about his hairpiece.
Amazing how the current sports personalities like Steven A Smith, etc can make even a deeply flawed ex-sports personality look absolutely statesman-like. (he is retired right? I haven't heard much from him since his sexual assault trial)

Thanks, just get tired of all the political stuff all of the time. There is a time and place for politics, but I don't think it is here.
I think today is President Trump's birthday. Can't think of anything else to say.
Happy 56th to Boy George

Happy Birthday wishes to Brian Wilson on his 76th
Nils Lofgren
Incredibly gifted musician but even more so singer songwriter. unfortunately he has ended up best known as a member of the E Street Band but is so much more than that. Worth checking out his solo stuff on YouTube
Agree on Nils, bomba. Really talented guy. Also, kind of a local for us in the DMV.
PH
Yes he is a Baltimore guy PH. I used to love seeing him and his band play the club scene in Philly/NJ/NYC in the late 70's/early 80's. An amazingly gifted musician but even more so a kind soulful man telling beautiful stories through his songs. And he could always rock out with the best of them when he feels like stepping it up. He's been living in Scottsdale for a while and while he does pass through CA occasionally on a solo gig he's yet to come to SD. Next time he's close Im gonna make it a point to go where I have to.
Actually, he grew up in Garrett Park, about 20 miles from where I live now in Montgomery County, MD. I got back to the states in 1974 in time to catch a couple of Grin concerts. I was hooked from then on.
He's a great collaborator (even co-wrote a song with the novelist Clive Cussler) and solo musician. Longtime friend of Neil Young and has had on and off connections with him and various incarnations of Crazy Horse.
My only "complaint" with Nils is that he doesn't "step it up," as much as I'd like him to. When he does, he can produce goosebumps.
PH
Speaking of goosebumps... for those of you unfamiliar with Nils, take 10 minutes out of your life and listen to his cover of Neil's Like a Hurricane here.... for just a little taste. The extended solo mid/late song is a thing of beauty.

today is Purple Haze's birthday.
I've spent many an hour with PH, drinking some lovely wines, having some great conversation.
Have a great one, buddy!
