celebrity birthdays

Our "Country Classic Double" today features country artist Lee Greenwood, who is celebrating his 68th birthday. While Lee has had numerous country hits, he's best remembered for his patriotic: "God Bless The USA", a song that became an anthem for our country in the days following 9/11.

We all have our favorite TV sitcoms, and Bob Newhart has starred in a few of my favorites. Today, the witty low-key comedian celebrates his 82nd birthday. You may have seen Newhart a couple of years ago when he performed on the Stanley Theater Stage in Utica.

Another celebrity birthday during the Frog Days of Summer! He's done just about everything there is to do on television and has spent more time in front of the camera than any other personality. Today, Regis Philbin celebrates his 80th birthday.

The Frog Days of Summer have been filled with a number of celebrity birthdays, and even our current president. Well, today happens to be our 42nd president's birthday - Bill Clinton is 65 years old today.

"I hear things, I hear things," as Bobby DeNiro would say. Today, the talented actor Robert DeNiro is 68 years old. I don't know of any other contemporary actor who does it all so well - drama, comedy, playing the hero and the heavy.

President Barack Obama turns 50 today...so we at Big Frog 104 say "Happy Birthday, Mr. President". Often, presidents age rapidly in office, but so far from what I see, President Obama looks just about the same (with a few more gray hairs...after this debt ceiling go-round, I can see why).

Happy 35th birthday to actor Sam Worthington. Now there's a name that sci-fi fans should know, and the rest of you you most likely have seen him on the screen.

I suppose once celebrites hit 40, they may be less than enthusiastic to celebrate that next birthday, but Lisa Kudrow is 48 years old today.

Kathy Mattea is celebrating her 52nd birthday today, so we are celebrating her music. Today, I'm featuring Kathy's big #1 hit from 1998 "18 Wheels And A Dozen Roses" in our Big Frog 1o4 Country Classic Double at 11:30 am.

Rosanne Cash celebrates her 56th birthday today, and at Big Frog 104, we're celebrating her music during our "Country Classic Double" at 11:30am. I always liked Rosanne's music, which often is a blend of country, rock and pop.
