arista-ta arista-ta arista-ta-ta



Today is Gene Kelly's Birthday.  He would be 158 years old. And still dancing I'm sure.  In this infamous scene from "Singing In the Rain" he had a fever of 103 (!) and he's singing in milk, not rain, The milk showed up better on celluloid.  Talk about dedication. So to honor him go and rent one of his movies, or better yet, go dancing tonight.

Happy 158th Gene!
