I (Donnie) was doing some research on things that happened on today’s date in history and stumbled upon birthdays. Every day of the year has a certain celebrity’s birthday or a National Day of the Year. I know I share a birthday with Tina Turner and Joe Nichols. National Cake Day is also celebrated on my birthday as well. Not sure where they got that from but oh well, Let Them Eat Cake!
I saw a list of today’s birthdays and realized it may be the most random birthdays by musicians ever. It spans from oldies, to boy bands, to rap, to reggae, to soft-rock, to super weird pop music.
Take a look at the list of artists who celebrate birthdays on October 17th!
