You share a birth date with a great mix of talent. Lucinda Williams is 58? Lord have mercy.

Happy birthday. I follow your blog and Twitter feed, and always enjoy your observations and thoughts (except for the mixed martial arts stuff that is outside my realm of understanding). Hoping much happiness and prosperity comes your way in the next year.

Did I ever tell you that I met Anita Baker? She was performing at the Palace, and my friend Karen introduced us, She took us backstage, and who should be back there but Mike Tyson and Jack Nicholson. Jack was in town filming Ironweed. Lots of photos, but, of course, *I* didn’t even try to get one past the Palace security.
