I don't know how old this makes you feel but it really does show age here. Considering I was 4 when CDs came out. I still remember buying cassette tapes when I was a pre-teen because CDs were still rather expensive and CD players were still in the $500-$600 range
Here’s a look at some notable birthdays being celebrated today:
Adele
Age: 24
Occupation: Singer
Known For: Walking away with a Grammy for each of the six categories in which her 2011 release ‘21’ was nominated, being the first female solo artist to have three singles in the Billboard top 10 at the same time, and for staging a huge comeback after having to cancel two tours and have surgery because of a vocal cord hemorrhage in 2011.
Batman is one of the oldest comic book creations of our time. We’ve seen everything from the campy Batman from the original television series to Christopher Nolan’s gritty Caped Crusader in ‘The Dark Knight.’ Nolan’s Batman wasn’t fun, never smiled and underwent a throat-wrenching voice change every time Bruce Wayne put on the Batsuit.
So not the kind of Batman kids would like at a birthday party.

It seems like every major city in America has an MLK Blvd or Ave or St, right? Ironically Memphis hasn't...until now.
Good, Lawd...It's 2012!!! Despite what happened there in April of 1968, Memphis IS 65% African American. Now I don't care one way or the other, but I was quite surprised to find out that Memphis is JUST NOW adding a street named after Martin Luther King.
