Yeah, but the chance should be ´bout 0,3 per cent (%) for that to happen.
Slightly more than that is my chance of dying from a heart attack or from sheer joy when I experience my lifes ´ first Stones concert ever in late 2005 or in -06, as a 41 or 42 y o vet in many other senses.
Me getting born to life in the 17th of December, twenty years minus a day after Keith is a nice coincidence.
Brad Pitt, then? Well; he was born "December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma". And Tommy Steele... ? 17th of December, 1936.
My daughter shares birthday with Mick Taylor, though she was born 52 years after him (and she was born at 17.17 the 17th; not bad, huh?).
- ...The chance for it should be ´bout 0,3 per cent...
My friend, also a devoted Stones fan, became a father for the first time this summer: His son, Michael Phillip (just kiddin´); well, his baby boy son was born in the 26th of July... Which Stones member have his birthday at that date... ? MJ, yes.
- ...0,3 per cent...
- Is there any Astrologist out there (or: in here); who can keep up these thoughts... ? Is it possible to create a horoscope for Stones as a group? What date is, then, the right one to count with as the group´s birth... ?
But, spinnin´ away even somewhat more... Is it a coincidence that Mick a n d Keith are born in 1943... ? well, asides from the trivial fact that they may not have become friends otherwise; There might be a common early experience: The war, sittin´ as little kids (in the shelter) during Blietzen. Bill has expressed something like that. Both are obsessed (more than the usual Englishman, which is fairly heavy) with WW II; and one of this two cats have said that Blietzen is his first memory... What about "Gimme Shelter"...
On the other hand there may be a chance that both The Menace of Mayfair nad meself have a non-eventful time at respectively moment...
Finally; what about Charlie and Woody having birthday the day after each other (proceeded by Clint Eastwood and Bjorn Borg)... ?
