Happy Birthday - Born on 03-21 Today is your Birthday!

March 21st—what a day! The first full day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, which means that technically, if you’re still holding onto that winter coat, you might just be emotionally attached. The Earth itself is stretching out from its frosty slumber, flowers are poking their heads up like they missed their alarm, and somewhere out there, a bird is attacking its own reflection in a window. Ah, nature. But today isn’t just about seasonal shifts and confused robins. No, it’s also a day packed with history. On this day in 1963, Alcatraz, the infamous island prison, shut its doors for good. One of the most notorious correctional facilities in history, it housed criminals like Al Capone and the “Birdman of Alcatraz,” Robert Stroud. Of course, Alcatraz was known for being nearly escape-proof, thanks to the freezing waters and relentless currents of San Francisco Bay. But that never stopped a few brave—or perhaps just desperate—souls from trying. The most famous escape attempt happened in 1962, when Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers made a daring break using dummy heads, homemade rafts, and pure determination. To this day, no one knows if they survived, which means there's still a tiny chance they’re out there somewhere, enjoying retirement in a beachside bungalow. Speaking of famous figures, today we get to celebrate the birthday of a man who knew a thing or two about legendary escapes—though his were into bold new worlds of sound. Born on this day in 1685, none other than Johann Sebastian Bach entered the world and went on to change music forever. A composer of astonishing talent, Bach’s work has inspired generations, from classical purists to heavy metal musicians who secretly practice his fugues when no one is looking. The man had melodies so powerful, even people who don’t know classical music have probably hummed one of his tunes without realizing it. Fun fact—his music was even sent into space on the Voyager Golden Record, meaning Bach’s talent is literally traveling through the cosmos right now, impressing any aliens with good taste. So, whether you’re embracing the first full day of spring, plotting your own great escape from the workweek, or dusting off your harpsichord to play a little Bach in celebration, make this March 21st one for the books. And if today happens to be your birthday, well, congratulations! You share it with one of history’s greatest composers, which basically makes you an honorary genius. Happy Birthday! Now, go forth and make some beautiful music—or at least, enjoy some cake.
