Happy Birthday, Buster Keaton

I just stumbled across the information that today would've been Keaton's 111th birthday. He's been one of my absolute favorite entertainers for a long time now-- ever since catching The General one afternoon on TV as a kid, although my father initially opened my eyes to comedians like Keaton, WC Fields and the Marx Brothers-- and I wouldn't want to miss a chance to spread the Gospel of Buster. Follow the link, read yourself some Buster facts, then maybe spend the evening with a copy of Steamboat Bill, Jr. Or better yet, pick up Kino Video's wonderful Art of Buster Keaton box set.

Maybe my next mini-tribute should be to Bob and Ray....
