YUP! Rev. Art & Aretha Franklin were born March 25, 1942, Da Rev in Columbus (he later moved to Dayton), the Queen of Soul in Memphis (She later moved to Motown).
And Dr. Richard Dawkins is celebrating the anniversary of his birth in Kenya (he later moved to England) on March 26, 1941.
Richard Dawkins is the PREEMINENT ATHEIST in the world today. My son, Gary Rand, presented me with the latest Dawkins screed against organized religionists - The God Delusion. Darren Eliot, my older son, remarked that he had never heard of Dawkins. Gary said, "I found myself in the science section of Borders and there were all these books by Richard Dawkins. I asked about The God Delusion and the bookseller directed me to the front of the store where there was a huge display. This thing's a bestseller!"
So Happy Birthday t' Doc & Aretha and me.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
65 is the new 35 - 'cuz I say so!
