Wow, what a talented and diverse group of people! It's amazing to see the range of ages and accomplishments represented here. I have so much respect for Barbara Bush and all she has done for our country. And Jerry Stiller and Joan Rivers are both comedy legends who have brought so much joy and laughter to people's lives. It's also great to see some musicians and actors I grew up listening to and watching, like Boz Scaggs and Julianna Margulies. And of course, who can forget Kanye West and his unique contributions to the music industry. Happy birthday to all of these amazing individuals!
