Happy International 'Like' Strawberry Fields Whatever on Facebook Day!

It's my birthday today! And it's Alex Chilton's birthday too! It's also the day after Lenny Kaye from the Patti Smith Group's bday, the day before Marianne Faithfull's birthday, two days before Patti Smith and Mike Nessmith and Davy Jones's birthday (hi, how cute is it that two of the Monkees were born the same day?), and three days before Paul "My Dream Boyfriend" Westerberg's birthday. We were all born in the Week Of The Ruler, which means we are tyrannical yet super-trustworthy and highly capable of getting shit done. In celebration of all of us, we invite you to love (i.e., "like") Strawberry Fields Whatever on Facebook. For those of you who already Facebook-like Strawberry Fields Whatever, other ways to celebrate include:

-telling everyone you know and love to like Strawberry Fields Whatever on Facebook
-having lots of tea and mai tais and Chinese food, which is what I'm going to do in 28 minutes
-not seeing This Is 40
-and if you do see This Is 40, seeing it only for the parts where the Paul Rudd eats cheeseburgers in the car while singing "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" with his mouth full and the part where Chris O'Dowd is cool about Van Halen
-being cool about Van Halen
-finding and buying me a Patti Smith shirt just like the one Jen May is wearing in the above photo
-getting a Bruce Springsteen tattoo

-looking at pictures of Mary Timony and young Mickey Rourke and oceans and beautiful cake, like this beautiful cake, which I wish I could share with all of you:

THANKS AND HAPPY INTERNATIONAL 'LIKE' STRAWBERRY FIELDS WHATEVER ON FACEBOOK DAY! xoxo Elizabeth Allison Barker
