So Scotty Kleinsmith sees the coming cultural war attraction in the Dukes of Hazzard remake–for the appearance that any on-set shots with the General Lee avoid visual mention of the roof, as the original sported the Confederate Flag. I wouldn’t be shitted if Lincoln’s portrait replaced it.
I do share a May 10th birthday with former actor and romantic John Wilkes Booth (1838) whose father’s middle name was Brutus.
The tenth of May is also the birthday of Mark David Chapman (1955), the chubby Beatles and J.D. Salinger fan who shot John Lennon. He is up for parole this year and has unfortunately not yet popped Paul “Bono” Hewson (1960).
Actually, expecting or reveling in admiration for being arbitrarily marginalized into society within a three-shift air slot out of a bunch more is a drip of everyman’s bullshit.
Congrats, I’m sure Michael Jordan is absolutely thrilled he has your birthday, too. Give him a call for all hell’s sake.
One of the most pathetic pitfalls of self-awareness and fatherhood was when my bald, white, 5 foot 8 inch 34-year-old junior high gym coach named his baby boy “Jordan Michael”. Oh, the stares of vicarious living that child will know.
Sid Vicious (1957) also share(s/d) my birthday. Maybe I’ll name my kid Vicious Sid so he’ll default to a punk rocker.
