Happy Birthday, Michael Palin - The Nicest Python. The Parrot Sketch/Lumberjack Song (1971) The Parrot Sketch, with John Cleese, often finds itself at the top of The Best Monty Python Sketches lists. The Lumberjack Song I've thrown in for free. Palin was always my favourite.

Happy Birthday, Randall 'Tex' Cobb Raising Arizona (1987) Ex-Boxer Randall was perfect as the bunny hating bounty hunter, Leonard Smalls, in this Coen brothers classic comedy. This movie is ridiculously inventive, I love it. 'Gimme that baby, you warthog from hell!'

Check out this drum cover of “Strange Days” by YouTube user Nick Balkun. 🥁 Love seeing players dive into that one - it’s got some weird twists, but that’s what made it fun to play. #DoorsDrumCover
