geo harrison died
During the heyday of Beatlemania, the prime time disc jockey of the local teen radio station would nightly call a then Mayberry gal in an attempt to get the latest scoop in the world of the Beatles. The gal was George's sister Louise. Every now an then she would quietly drop a "Oh George is over for dinner, would you like a word with him?", and George would spend the next 3 minutes BSing how much fun he was having at our expense.
George soon became my favorite Beatle. It's hard to believe I've outlived two of the fab four. George died on this date in 2001.

game changers
It takes two to tango, and at least that many to start a revolution, but today's birthday boys played a significant part in changing the world they lived in. Sometimes alone, sometimes with others.


Each died too young.

gave peace a chance

Created or significantly changed half a dozen industries
Each died too young.
