What Kanye West and I Have in Common...

Tagged by Bobby Marchessault! DOAH! Here's the deal:

When tagged, you have to take your birthday date and find out some things about it. You have to find, events, other people who were born on the same day, deaths and a holiday.

Since I was tagged by BOBBY, who has the SAME BIRTHDAY as me, my challenge is great. He stole all the "good ones". BAH! He did, however, cite me in the list of important births, so I will extend the same courtesy here. HERE WE GO......JUNE 8TH!!!!
