Today is August 16th, and 2 very special things happened on this date in history…
1. Madonna Louise Ciccone was born this day, August 16th, 1958. She turns 48 today.
2. On August 16th, 1977, Elvis Aaron Presley passed away at the young age of 42; he would have been 71 this year.
Two legends of music; one brought into the world and one left the world on the very same day. Madonna was 19 years old when Elvis passed away. I wonder if she ever stops on her birthday and thinks of him, and how strange it is that a music legend such as herself, passed away on the very same day she was born.
Two music icons, from two different generations, on two very different paths in life, but oddly the same…fascinating.
