Musical Birthdays
Leave it to a rocker at heart like Craig Ferguson to mark the 66th birthday of David Bowie. On Tuesday, Craig tweeted a video of a live performance from the glam rock legend:

Meanwhile, Bowie has launched his first new single in a decade to mark the occasion. BBC News has a clip of the new track. It’s also the birthday of jazz singer Shirley Bassey. Not a bad day for music.

Long Live the King
Of course, another musical birthday falling on January 8th is of “The King” of rock n’ roll, Elvis Presley. Craig’s sister Lynn Ferguson marked the occasion with a special video in her This Day Today series:

happy happy birthday Elvis Presley, wherever you are… http://youtu.be/bs_3Gj4Dai8  via @youtube

Super Bowl Preps
If you live in or will be visiting the Los Angeles area on Friday, January 11th, you might want to go to Studio 56 at CBS Television City. There will be no guests that day but the show will be taping several segments to use during Craig’s post-Super Bowl special on February 3rd. Book early to avoid disappointment. There are still plans to tape some segments in New Orleans in early February as well, but there’s no official word yet on when those parts will be taped, or if and when tickets will be made available. We’ll keep you posted.
