A Lefty’s day in the sun
August 13th, 2009 by Pete Stuart in NewsIt’s here, finally. International Left-Handers Day. Roughly 93 percent of you may not give a shit, but then again it’s not your time to shine, now is it?
Maybe I’m really excited because I’m really, really left-handed. Watch me do anything with my right hand and you’d assume that my applesauce had been laced with muscle relaxers.
Honestly, I didn’t even know this celebration existed until this morning. But nonetheless I thought I’d pay tribute to some of our most prominent left-handed musicians, dead or alive.
Notable left-handers
Jimi Hendrix
Kurt Cobain
Paul McCartney
Dick Dale
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (The Mars Volta)
Iggy Pop
Tim Armstrong (Rancid)
Phil Collins
Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band)
Babyface
Iggy Pop
David Cook
There’s a ton more if you care to research, including tip-toein’ Tiny Tim (ukulele), Billy Ray Cyrus and, for what it’s worth, Eminem.
