Happy Birthday Harry Shearer

Traffic on my blog is moving slower than a Friday night in Boones Mill, Va. So, I will keep today's entry short and sweet.

The voice of Rev. Lovejoy on "The Simpsons" and the star of ensemble films like "A Mighty Wind" and "Best in Show," Harry Shearer turns 64 today.

I found while listening to the NPR concert series "Mountain Stage" that Shearer is actually married to folk singer Judith Owen. She was not in "A Mighty Wind!"

Shearer was also in the 1985 mocumentary "This Is Spinal Tap," which my friend Leigh-Anne Keatts cites as one of her favorite films.

The actor-comedian-author currently has an NPR show called "Le Show," which seems to be airing only in select cities.

He also celebrated his birthday (update from original post) in Seattle in a holiday-sing-a-long with his wife.
