16th october

I share this birthday with another quixotic person of his times Oscar Wilde, known for such quips as 'I am not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens'

I was listening to Lynyrd Skynryd's Simple Man and Sweet Home Alabama on youtube. A good friend mentioned this band a few months back and I had almost forgotten them and just today was curious to find out how good their music is. The band has great quality. Great vocals, great groovy rhythm.... just loved it.

Was also listening to Simon and Garfunkel. Their album Bridge Over Troubled Water came out in 1969 a year which is just so significant for many world events; moonshot being one of them. The number from the album
Sound of Silence is very popular, if the viewership count on youtube website of 3 million views at the time of this blog posting is any indication.

I might have a few birthday resolutions; to gym daily, and remind myself to live free, and live free of fear and make everyday count.
