It’s my little sister’s birthday today! I love her very much – even when she pulls shit like this. So please wish her a bad-ass birthday in the comments and join us tonight at Silvertone if you’re so inclined. Back to the scene of the storm.
May 6th has been a tragic date throughout human history – so it’s probably no accident that Janet chose to emerge 29 years ago today. Let’s look at the facts:
- On May 6, 1937 the hydrogen-filled German dirigible “Hindenburg” burned and crashed in Lakehurst, N.J., killing 35 of the 97 people on board.
- In 1942 some 15,000 Americans and Filipinos on Corregidor surrendered to the Japanese.
- In 1996, the body of former CIA director William E. Colby was found washed up on a riverbank in southern Maryland, eight days after he’d disappeared.
- George Clooney and Tony Blair were also born today.
So we can all take some solace in the fact that she was inevitable. Have a great one, sis, and I hope we get to do this for another 30 years.
