Musician and Actor David Cassidy was born on this day, April 12th in 1950, and we wish him a very Happy Birthday! As an aside, when I was 19 years old I had a boyfriend named Mark, who everyone called “Mark Popstar,” because he so closely resembled David Cassidy. That relationship, now decades in the past, was largely inconsequential, but it’s still a nice memory to know that I was once cute enough to get a boy as cute as David Cassidy.

Happy 65th Birthday, Alice Cooper!
Everyone who knows me knows that all of my Alice Cooper love goes 100% out to the original band of that name. But without Vincent Damon Furnier, there would have been no original band, so it’s not entirely possible to separate the two. Vince (aka Alice) celebrates 65 years on the planet today, having been born on February 4th, 1948. Hello, Hurray.
