An Indy 500/TJB Connection

[DAN BOLTON]

Last night, at the Indianapolis 500 Victory Banquet, the drivers in this year's race were accompianied by the number one song on the date of their birth as they ascended to the podium to recieve their checks. Dan Wheldon, the 2005 winner, stepped up to the mike as THIS GUY'S IN LOVE WITH YOU was playing. He commented that it was a "strange song"; and when asked, said he'd never heard it before.

Since the song wa recorded in 1968, that would make Wheldon nearly 40 years old, and I think he's still in his 20's...maybe they should have played RISE...

Anyway, it was good to hear Herb Alpert, even if the guy didn't know who he was.

Without looking, I'll bet that "This Guy's In Love With You" was number one on June 22, 1968. Someone goofed by 10 years. That's a sample of today's math skills...

Kinda makes you wonder who really won the race, doesn't it?
