Well, not this day, per se, but on the same day - Oct 18th... random Googling/Wikipedia'ing shows that Lee Harvey Oswald, Mike Ditka, Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Wynton Marsalis were all born on my birthday. That's some interesting company.
[Hmmm... conspiracies, fighting, martial arts, music... that sounds about right...]
And Jon-Erik Hexum, who I obsessively watched in Voyagers! and Cover Up as a kid [I still remember Holding Out for a Hero was the Cover Up theme song], died after accidentally shooting himself a few days earlier, on October 18, 1984. I remember reading about that a lot at the time, because my Mom was an obsessive buyer of celeb trash mags like The Enquirer and The Star.
