by Robert Wilkinson

October 13 is the birthday of the legendary Lenny Bruce, Patron Saint of Free Speech and powerful social conscience.

A 2021 Gear Fab Birthday Celebration for One of the Greatest, John Lennon the Beatle - The Early Days

by Robert Wilkinson

Today our Saturday Night Attitude dance begins early. Every October 9 we celebrate the birthday of the one who gave the world "All You Need is Love," composed Britain's "Peace Offering" in the first global broadcast, and wrote "Give Peace A Chance," the rallying cry that united millions in ending a useless war (yes, "useless war" IS a redundancy!) An orphan with a bad attitude, his life was a miracle journey of ego to the peak of absolute fame, power, and wealth, the crash that inevitably follows, and the redemption of a life through love, appreciation, and respect for inner and outer peace. Musician, author, caricaturist, movie star, hell raiser, rabble rouser, troubled genius and sometimes not a very nice guy, nonetheless he was one of the best of all time. Today we have a LOT of videos of this remarkable man for the ages who would have been 81 today.
