But , Escape was the number 1 album. Right?

Interesting.

DOB: Poor Side of Town - Johnny Rivers.

I was definitely born on the poor side of town. My name is John. One of my all-time favorite songs is Change Is Gonna Come by Same Cooke. The opening lines:
"I was born by the river in a little tent - Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since."

Hmmm...poverty, rivers, and running...sums up my life so far!

My wife's DOB is also intriguing: Please Mr. Postman - Carpenters.

We met via the internet - this generation's postal service.

Day we were married: Maria Maria - Santana.

She's Colombian so it just makes sense for the U.S. to be charting a Latin artist's song on our wedding day.
