Happy Birthday E A P!

Edna Annie Proulx born today in 1935. A Pulitzer prize winning author and journalist. Proulx was born in Connecticut to French Canadian parents and author of The Shipping News and Brokeback Mountain, both made into films. Really good films at that. She is the kind of writer that the more you read the more you get out of it. Cumulative.
She goes by Annie Proulx, E. Annie Proulx and E.A. Proulx, pronounced PRU.
This great photo is taken in Vermont where she lives.

Today in 1952 in Ankara, Turkey...

...Joe Strummer was born. Was he dead cool or what?
He died at age 50 on 22 Dec 2002. The film The Future is Unwritten by Julien Temple is a biopic about him. I have yet to see it.
However today I want to celebrate Joe-Happy Birthday bro!
I will never forget The Clash concert I went to years ago and I was up on the balcony and we were called the old fogies, the grand parents by the band! Great insult!
