Sting and the guitarist from Genesis. Could be worse. Other than that, Brittney Spears lost custody of her kids because she's a psycho whore and a Pearl Jam concert ended early due to the crowd rioting. Mayhem seems to break on on the day I was born... Coincidence?

Heeeyyy... Vince Neil of Motley Crue! Not too shabby. I still think I'm prouder of James Dean though.

I wonder who'll get to discover someday that they share a birthday with me?
