Great album.

Please wish her a very Happy Birthday for me (and I hope the nearness of her birthday to Christmas has not deprived her of the appropriate number of presents).

Please tell Athena from me: "Happy birthday, birthday twin (many years apart) don't let anyone give you birthdaymas things. Everyone else gets separated b-day/Xmas."

My oldest was born with meconium staining. It was so much that we went into emergency mode. We had to be perfectly quiet so that he didn’t breathe until they had cleared his airways. In the silence after the birth, all you could hear was Green Day’s Basket Case playing quietly over the speakers. 👀😂

An all-time favorite album!

I understand this completely ... I can think of very few events in my life that burned themselves into brain like the birth of my son. Lightning flash memory ... what his eyes looked like the first time we regarded each other. I think that will be with me as long as I am here.

Happy birthday. My son was born the moment the Golden Girls theme song started playing on the tv.

26? Whoa.

This is the most popular song on the rock station I liked in that day. But I was in waiting room during emergency caesarian and a bit scared. I mistakenly thought I was not allowed in the surgery. After I learned I was allowed.

I still remember the albums that we’re playing (whitechocolatespacegg and Doolittle) when my kids were born, but not the song. Also saw Emmylou on this tour At Bogarts. It was magical.

Happy Birthday to Athena!

I was looking around for a different CD 2 nights ago and dragged that one out for the first listen in years. I like it more now than I did when it came out. Thought it was overproduced then.

Happy Birthday to Athena! 🎂🎉

john-hattan.bsky.social•66 days ago

You remember the song that was playing when your kid was born?

With my kid, I only remember white noise and an internal monologue screaming YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING! YOU ARE GONNA TOTALLY MESS THIS UP!

rjmourinha.bsky.social•66 days ago

Happy birthday to Athena. Also, this is one of my all time reference albums/desert island discs.

nickpheas.bsky.social•67 days ago

Wish her a happy birthday from all of us.
