A busy day in the birthday icono-pantheon

AAACK! AAACK!


Elvis Costello (1954 - )

A serious man in a frivilous business


Sir Sean Connery (1930- )

Star of my two favorite romance pictures for guys,
Robin and Marian and The Wind And the Lion
Made me cry. What a guy. And I did.

"The name's Bond, James Bond."

His Young People's Concerts Sunday mornings on CBS introduced this small town Indian boy to the joys of classical music for which he has my undying gratitude.
