I didn't go to the website, but I do know that I share a birthday with Fabian, Bob Marley, Axl Rose, and Rick Astley (LOL). |
| Micrówave 27.08.2008 12:18 |
I was jazzed to see that I share the same day as Robert Johnson. But then I realized it was Robert Johnson of KC & The Sunshine Band. So that's why I can't play guitar after 5 years and still have my bell bottoms. |
