Tommy Dorsey, Indira Gandhi, Larry King, Jack Welch, Ted Turner, Calvin Klein, Ahmad Rashad, Michael Wilbon, and Meg Ryan (among many others) share my date of birth.
Many epic events have taken place on that day as well.
1863— Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address
1930— Bonnie & Clyde's first robbery
1990— Milli Vanilli was stripped of their Grammy
1999— The World is Not Enough was released in theaters. And heck yes; I was there.
2010— The new Harry Potter movie came out. And I couldn't care less about it.
BUT
I have remembered the single greatest event that has ever transpired on November 19th in the history of the universe. Brothers and Sisters. Ladies and Gentlemen. I give you...
The Melee at the Palace, starring Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson.
You will thank me later.

"Adam Carolla had an interesting take on this incident: Imagine being the guy at the game who was first attacked by Artest? You've been watching these guys for two hours, you're pretty buzzed, you're loving the seats ... and then this fight breaks out, and it's riveting as hell, and then suddenly Artest gets nailed by the cup and he's coming right at you. As Carolla said, it would be like watching "Captain Hook" in the movies for two hours, then Captain Hook comes right out of the movie screen and attacks you. Would you have blamed that first guy for soiling himself?"
This was the best part
