HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALLEN TOUSSAINT!

Allen Toussaint at the 2007 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival

MadPriest says today is Allen Toussaint's birthday, and it's  true.  Allen is three quarters of a century old today, and he's still going strong.  Watch the video of Allen's performance of "Yes We Can" over at OCICBW....

In the video posted above, Allen performs "There's a Party Going On".  Yeah!  Allen's birthday party is going on right here at Wounded Bird and over there.  Oh, the wonders of the intertubes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE CARLIN!

George Carlin would be 75 today.  I'm sure he's smiling down on us from on high.  In fact, George may even be on a heavenly high celebrating the day.

Below is young George as Al Sleet, the Hippy Dippy Weatherman, on The Ed Sullivan Show.
