A Happy Birthday

Because I follow a lot of the old school bloggers and because after all these years, they all seem to follow each other, I ended up with an RSS feed for the Lefsetz Letter. Bob Lefsetz has been a music industry analyst for ages and while I don’t follow the blog super closely, I do find it interesting.

This week he did a post about his 70th birthday. Being a big number, his wife got a bunch of folks to record birthday wishes on video and she combined it. There are many more famous people (starts with Donny Osmond) than I would get for my 70th birthday. Paul Anka sings new lyrics to “My Way” (which Paul Anka wrote). There are many older artists that had me going, “wait, who is that”, but it’s an impressive list regardless. The whole thing is 30 minutes long, so skim through it, but it’s fun. The person in the YouTube preview still is Seth Godin, who I follow and often link to.

I would be super happy with something anywhere close to that on any birthday. Btw, there’s a Marvel like post credits scene with Elton John…
