April 24

I'm torn, so I'm offering a twofer. Too many people I personally know to decide which birthday works better. So here's your choice: you can celebrate the birthday of the Elvis Presley of France, Dick Rivers...


On the one hand, he's France's first rock n roll star. On the other hand, good luck finding his songs on a karaoke machine in North America. Also, good luck on explaining that Dick Rivers is not a porn star...


Or you can celebrate the birthday of bassman Richard Sterban of the Oak Ridge Boys...


On the one hand, the Oak Ridge Boys are everything that makes country music your grandma's music. On the other hand, you could probably go to any karaoke bar in the world and sing "Elvira." Convincingly singing the "ba-ooom papa mow-mow" part is about as manly as crushing a beercan with your forehead...
