Why is it that when something cool happens in the world that I am the last one to hear about it?
Now I’m not talking about seeing the Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Activity when they were overexposed or tuning in to Tosh.0 prior to its nightly reruns.
For the record, I missed all three of those boats too.
The cultural event to which I am referring as to have missed out on hearing about when it happened was this whole astrological signs as we know them are wrong thing I just found out about an hour ago. I noticed a couple casual references to it on my Facebook news feed and thought it was odd that this was even a topic of conversation at all. So I googled awhile and found out what was going on astrologically and astronomically speaking.
Here is one of the reports I found. Google yourself if you want more.
Am I a Pisces now or do I remain an Aries? The only way I would change is if my birthday fell under the new sign, Ophiuchus.
Since I’m too lazy/hungry/busy to create a poll for this perfect-for-a-survey topic, I open up the floor for your commentary.
This is a backstage photo of my first band, Pilot. We performed live one time at the Band Showcase in the Capuchino High School Auditorium in 1985. We broke up in order to pursue solo careers, mine being the end of my sophomore year.

Don’t feel bad; you’re not the last one to know. I still don’t know what all the conversation is about, and I’ve seen several references to it on Facebook lately too. But my theory is that I’m going to remain a Pisces by not looking at this news article, and Pluto is still a planet.
So of the guys in the band, who made it big in pursuing solo careers???

Did the fox in the aqua bandana get all the babes?
I know, wrong comment.
You’re born on April 1st, right? Doesn’t that date’s association trump all astrological designations?
You’re right, Ron! Emma is trump as well.
This article from CNN indicates that the hoopla is all over nothing:

Hey, I dated two of the guys in that band and got tattooed with* another. Does that make me some kind of groupie or something…?
*Meaning I accompanied him to a tattoo parlor and got ink, not that I had his likeness tattooed upon my person. Just clarifying.
I think that makes you a Band Aide, a la Almost Famous.
LOL, Jas. I was totally expecting Dan to weigh in here with a much less euphemistic epithet!!
Who is the stoned looking base player?
