Happy Birthday, to:
David Byrne [new wave and post-punk singer, songwriter, guitarist, record producer and founding member of Talking Heads] -
Bobby Darin is a good example of what happens when you don't follow doctor's orders.
Because of heart valve issues [[including 2 valve replacements) he was repeatedly told to take antibiotics before going to a dental appointment [[as the case). He neglected the order then got a systemic infection which required another set [[yet unsuccessful) of valve replacements. Chances are he would've lasted if he would only have followed those orders. What a talent!!!

Taken way too soon. "Darin suffered from poor health his entire life. He was frail as an infant and, beginning at age eight, was stricken with recurring bouts of rheumatic fever that left him with a seriously weakened heart" -- Wikipedia
A great talent. I recently discovered this recording. [Isn't Youtube great?]
