King Arthur Movie Tristan

It's one of those days when there are more than one birthday of note, and I have to chose who to honour.

First up is Robert De Niro. De Niro, who is responsible for the greatest acting performance of all time in The Godfather Part II, turns 65 today. That alone should qualify him for At Home in Hespeler birthday wishes, but add in Taxi Driver; New York, New York; Deer Hunter; Raging Bull; Good Fellas and the immortal "Harry Tuttle' In Brazil, and you've got yourself a tidy little career.

Then there's The Go-Go's Belinda Carlisle, who turns 50. Back in 1982 or so she sexily fronted a band that kept some 19 year old guys of my acquaintance highly entertained. That Go-Go music didn't really make us dance, but we sure loved Belinda, and for that alone it should be happy 50th birthday Belinda Carlisle.

Finally Kevin Rowland turns 55 today. Rowland was the lead singer of the band Dexy's Midnight Runner's and in that role wrote one of the great songs in pop history, Come On Eileen. While De Niro has had, and continues to have an impressive career, and Belinda Carlisle gets hotty points, it is to one hit wonder Kevin Rowland who I wish a full and happy 55th birthday today. If only I could dance like that...
