We here at the information desk would be scandalously remiss if we failed to mention that today, yes today, March 27, is David Mullen's birthday.

Happy Birthday, David. Enjoy those forties!


(it's also Elton John's birthday but he did not give us classics like, Unpigging the Pond so we don't care anything about him.)

Gasp! We do too care about Elton John!! How would we ever have known that Lucy was in the sky with Diamonds?

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Or even if there was a yellow brick road to say goodbye too.


But Hey David sir, Happy Birthday to you. Have your wife sing the birthday song to you and consider it a gift from us here at the board.

Cece, dearest, I'm not called. "the information desk" for nothing...

Elton John did not give us Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. He merely recorded it. The late John Lennon wrote it.

For the lovely "story behind the song" about Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds:

But just to make Cece feel better, the information desk was incorrect about the birthdate of Elton John (although I SWEAR I saw it published somewhere as the 27th just two days ago) which, according to a fact check at Wikipedia, was on March 25.

However, David is sharing his birthday with Mariah Carey.

(The information desk doesn't care about her either.)

Don't care a bit about her, and Lucy in the sky, the only version I loved was elton's

hey happy late-birthday Mr. Mullen!!
