Week 31 - Marilyn Munnroe

Did Not Sell!


"Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday to you.... Happy Birthday Mr. President..."

Wow! It's not every day that you can celebrate 3 icons in one munny-a-week post... but I guess this week I got lucky. As you probably know, Marilyn Monroe sang the song above (and I assumed paid the required royalties) to then-President John F. Kennedy. It just so happens that yesterday was current-President Barack Obama's birthday. He was sung the same song, but slightly less iconic, Jennifer Hudson.  So... Happy Birthday Mr. President. Secondly, today marks the 49th anniversary of the tragic day that Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her home. She died from an overdose of pills (or some other government conspiracy) and last, but certainly not least, tomorrow would mark the 83rd birthday of famous pop artist Andy Warhol (who was probably most famous for painting soup... and once again... portraits of Marilyn Monroe.) See? This sort of thing doesn't happen often... all 3 connected, and on sequential days. The above is my Munny tribute to Marilyn and Andy... and I guess Barack too. Ok.

The next Munny will be posted on Friday, August 12. If there is a Munny YOU would like to see, leave a comment below or shoot me an e-mail to gbowdler@gmail.com.
