They're all musicians except for Archbishop Tutu and Simon Cowell. Archbishop Tutu is from South Africa and so is Ladysmith Black Mambazo. I first heard Ladysmith on Paul Simon's "Graceland" album in college. Michael W. Smith does contemporary Christian music; Yo-Yo Ma is a classical cellist and has been performing Asian music with the Silk Road Ensemble. John Mellencamp is from central Indiana. You probably know all of this already, right? So, you see it was just me being vague in a (failed) attempt to be clever. I figured the theme for the week could be people born on this date.


Thanks,
