Today is Les Paul's 96th birthday.
Go to Google , have your sound ON, then move your mouse over the "strings" for a really cool effect.

How is it his 96th birthday when he's been dead for almost 2 years?

I just "google image" searched this picture and didn't pay attention (at first) to where the image came from. Apparently, the first position in the image page takes you to.... this new member thread.... where I posted it before.

Really?
I mean,I can understand having a tribute to a musician on their birthday,but when they are dead,they cease aging.Or is there something going on that I don't know about.

Well, that would be the tribute. It's a tribute on what would have been his 96th birthday. It's just shorter to say it that way...it's Google.

I'm sorry,it's just one of my pet peeves.People celebrating dead people's birthdays saying stupid s*** like "He would have been 165 today."

No! He died 73 years ago. He's not anything.He's f***ing dead!!!

Saying somebody 'would have been 165' today (okay, no he wouldn't have been, nobody lives that long anymore)...but if I were to say, "My mom would have been 62 this year" that's normal. It's not the same thing as celebrating though.

I'm not trying to lessen your pet peeve...believe me I have enough of my own.

Oh and the further explanation of course is "here's a tribute to Les Paul...and this is why we're doing it on this day ."
