Ronnie Wood-Rod Stewart: Lookalikes. (Happy birthday to Ronnie Wood.)

Can you believe it’s June? I feel like I have missed a couple of months somewhere … welcome to the High 5:

TODAY: On this day in 2005, W. Mark Felt’s family ended 30 years of speculation, identifying Felt, the former FBI assistant director, as “Deep Throat,” the secret source who helped unravel the Watergate scandal. The Felt family’s admission, made in an article in Vanity Fair magazine, took legendary reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who had promised to keep their source’s identity a secret until his death, by surprise. Tapes show that Nixon himself had speculated that Felt was the secret informant as early as 1973. (If your formative years were in the 1970s, the terms “Watergate” and “Deep Throat” have always carried a special meaning.)

FOUND ON FACEBOOK: “Carrie Underwood’s legs have motivated me to work out much, much harder.” (Carrie Underwood’s legs simply motivate me. Period.)

OVERRATED: James Bond. (As talented of a secret agent as he’s been, 007 has never displayed a jump shot or crossover dribble.)

UNDERRATED: LeBron James. (First, let me remind you I detest what this guy did to the city of Cleveland, but even Scottie Pippen is now saying The King might be considered the best player of all-time when it is all said on done. Sorry, Michael Jordan fans. Your guy will eventually be No. 2. It’s time to take the blinders off. And don’t bring up that silly “ring” argument. And Kobe? He’s not even in the discussion.)

BIRTHDAY BANTER: Who was your favorite character on the old Andy Griffith shows?

– Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood is 64. (He’s the Rolling Stone who looks like Rod Stewart.)
– Actor Andy Griffith is 85. (Andy, Barney, Goober, Gomer, Aunt Bee, Opie … those were the days, my friends.)
– Actor Morgan Freeman is 74. (One of the classic voices in film history.)
– Singer Alanis Morissette is 37. (Haley Reinhart sang an Alanis song on the semifinals of American Idol this season.)

Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates in the 1960s western "Rawhide".

Back to work on Tuesday … enjoy the latest High 5 first, though:

TODAY: On this day in 1991, the world’s oldest-ever bride, Minnie Munro, 102, weds Dudley Reid, 83, in Australia. Oh that Minnie, robbin’ the cradle.

FOUND ON FACEBOOK: “Most disturbing and questionable nursery rhyme — “Rub-A-Dub-Dub, three men in a tub.” Need I say more?”

OVERRATED: Coleslaw. (Yechh…)

UNDERRATED: Potato salad (chilled).

BIRTHDAY BANTER: Clint Eastwood has been acting longer than I have been alive. That’s amazing.

Sharon Gless, left, and Tyne Daly from "Cagney and Lacey".

– Disco singer Vicki Sue Robinson is 57. (The original “Turn the Beat Around” girl.)
– Actor/director Clint Eastwood is 82. (Remember when he starred in Rawhide on CBS on Friday nights in the early 1960s?)
– Actress Sharon Gless is 68. (She was the Cagney part of Cagney and Lacey, and now is featured in Burn Notice on USA Network.)
– In memoriam: Former Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham would have been 63 today. (He died in 1980.)

Evel Knievel

Don’t you just love these three-day weekends? Welcome to the Memorial Day version of the High 5:

TODAY: On this day in 1967, famed daredevil Evel Knievel jumped 16 automobiles in a row in a motorcycle stunt at Ascot Speedway in Gardena, Calif. I wonder, at the end of his career, if Evel actually felt all of the broken bones, concussions and internal injuries had been worth it?

FOUND ON FACEBOOK: “Why do they drink milk when they win?”

OVERRATED: NASCAR Coca-Cola 600. (Kind of a yawner until that last green-white-checkers … I’m not sure if Junior with ever win again with luck like that.)

Clint Walker

UNDERRATED: Indianapolis 500. (Indy is almost “back” to where it was before Tony George tried to sabotage all of open racing. The last lap of Sunday’s race was tremendous. Indy even won the battle of the national anthems with Kelly Clarkson and Seal. NASCAR had an off-key Darius Rucker.)

BIRTHDAY BANTER: Cheyenne and Sugarfoot were two of my favorite shows back in the day …

– Actor Clint Walker is 84. (He’s best known for his role as Cheyenne Body on the 1960s ABC western Cheyenne.)
– Guitarist Lenny Davidson of The Dave Clark Five is 67. (The group’s lead singer, Mike Smith, died earlier this decade. I always thought he DC5 had a better sound than the Beatles back in the 1960s.)
– Country singer Wynonna Judd is 47. (There are times when Wynonna is downright scary looking.)
– Actor Michael J. Pollard is 72. (In just about every one of his roles, he played some sort of disturbed individual.)

Christmas in May? Read all about it in the latest edition of the High 5:

TODAY: This is kind of strange, but on this day in 1942, the late Bing Crosby recorded “White Christmas” for release later that year. The song remains as popular today as it was more than 60 years ago, having sold more than 30 million copies.

FOUND ON FACEBOOK: “Black stockings and heels you make me smile. Thanks for always being there.”

LaToya Jackson

OVERRATED: Danica Patrick.

UNDERRATED: Dan Patrick. (ESPN could use him — again.)

BIRTHDAY BANTER: I think the Spice Girls need to make a comeback …

– Singer LaToya Jackson is 55. (Might be the second-strangest of all the Jacksons, and that’s saying something.)
– Singer Melanie Brown is 36. (She was “Scary Spice” of the old Spice Girls.)
– Singer Melissa Etheridge is 50. (Geez, whatever happened to her?)
– Actress Annette Bening is 53. (I always thought she was tremendous in The American President.)

Happy Memorial Day Weekend from the High 5:

TODAY: On this day in 1951, Willie Mays hit the first major league home run of his career. The rest, as they say, is history. He started his career with 12 consecutive outs before walloping the first of his 660 home runs, which ranked third all-time at his retirement. The Say Hey Kid was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1979.

FOUND ON FACEBOOK: “Oh it’s starting to really hurt now. Hope this doesn’t last long.”

OVERRATED: Archie Bell and the Drells. (Remember “Tighten Up” in 1968? I can’t tell you how much I hated that song. And still do.)

UNDERRATED: Archie Bunker. (At some point here, we’re going to have to list Archie’s top 10 lines from the early years of All in the Family.)

BIRTHDAY BANTER: There’s a distinct theme here today for the birthdays …

– Singer Gladys Knight is 67. (Did you see her Wednesday night on the American Idol finale?)
– Singer Colbie Caillat is 26. (One of the High 5′s faves.)
– Singer Kylie Minogue is 43. (I always get her and wild Kim Wilde — the “Kids in America” girl — mixed up.)
– Singer John Fogerty is 66. (Favorite John Fogerty song? “Center Field”)

I could never have been a secret agent. The torture thing would always have been a problem … welcome to the latest installment of the High 5:

TODAY: On this day in 1964, the James Bond film From Russia With Love premiered in U.S. theaters. Why did Sean Connery ever quit being James Bond? Seriously, the now 80-year-old Connery could still be portraying Bond and we’d go to the theater to see him. Or at least I would.

FOUND ON FACEBOOK: “Someone give me a brief rundown on the Amanda Knox murder thing so I do not have to look it up.”

OVERRATED: Mack Taylor, the CSI:NY character portrayed by Gary Sinise.

UNDERRATED: Gus Macker.

BIRTHDAY BANTER: I wonder if she is from Sioux Falls?

– Singer Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie and the Banshees is 54. (I really have no idea who this is, but the name is just so cool I had to use it.)
– Actor Christopher Lee is 89. (One of the great Draculas in film history.)
– Singer Cilla Black is 68. (Children of the ’60s will remember her.)
– Comedian Adam Corolla is 47. (The highlight of his career as The Man Show.)

I have never figured out who would have an advantage in a war between werewolves and vampires … welcome to the latest edition of the High 5:

TODAY: The first copies of the classic vampire novel Dracula, by Irish writer Bram Stoker, appeared in London bookshops on this day in 1897. Just think, if Stoker had not given us Dracula we would have those awesome Twilight movies.

Shan Whiston

FOUND ON FACEBOOK: “The fat cat sat on a hat, saw a rat on the mat, got a bat, had a chat with a gnat that he’d pat in a vat that was flat, oh yeah!”

OVERRATED: Chan Gailey

UNDERRATED: Shan Whiston. (She’ll be missed at WGEM.)

BIRTHDAY BANTER: Remember how fond Marshal Dillon was of Miss Kitty (Amanda Blake)?

– Actor James Arness is 88. (He played marshal Matt Dillon on the old Gunsmoke series, arguably the top lawman a TV western ever knew.)
– Sportscaster Brent Musburger is 72.(He still delivers a quality broadcast for ABC/ESPN.)
– Drummer Garry Peterson of The Guess Who is 66.(Favorite Guess Who song? “Albert Flasher.”)
– Singer Stevie Nicks is 63. (She toured earlier this year with legendary Rod Stewart.)

Anyone else out there anxious for the new season of Breaking Bad? Ponder that as you work through the latest edition of the High 5:

TODAY: On this day in 1992, Jay Leno was named permanent host of NBC’s Tonight Show. Well, except for that messy little Conan O’Brien thing.

FOUND ON FACEBOOK: “I’ve realized I’m less focused than a squirrel.”

OVERRATED: Rescue Me, the TV show.

UNDERRATED: “Rescue Me” by Fontella Bass. (To this day, I think nine out of 10 people think Aretha Franklin sang that song.)

BIRTHDAY BANTER: I have never laughed so hard at a movie as I did at the second Austin Powers film …

– Actor Mike Myers is 48. (The first two Austin Powers movies remain classics. The third, not so much.)
– Actor Frank Oz is 67. (He portrayed “Yoda” in the Star Wars flicks.)
– Scorpions lead singer Klaus Meine is 63. (Another of my son’s favorite bands.)
– Country singer Jessi Colter is 68. (She was once married to the late, great Waylon Jennings.)

Happy birthday, Bob Dylan.

Welcome to the 611th consecutive day of the High 5:

TODAY: On this day in 1935, the first MLB night game was played in Cincinnati. There are probably about 150 million American males who are looking heavenward today and saying, “Thank you.” Without night baseball — and television — guys would have little else to do on these spring and summer evenings than watch reruns of Two and a Half Men.

FOUND ON FACEBOOK: “I want to botox … pump up my lips … lift and tighten everything … walk around talking loudly on my celly …. holding a wine glass …. on my way to a dinner party with people I hate but am nice too … HELLO … Housewives of Adams County! Takers???”

OVERRATED: Andre the Giant.

UNDERRATED: Shrek.

BIRTHDAY BANTER: Bartolo Colon may wear the largest pair of pants in MLB …

– Singer Bob Dylan is 70. (Favorite Dylan song? “Like A Rolling Stone.”)

– Yankees pitcher Bartolo Colon is 38. (He’s still eating well.)
– Singer Rosanne Cash is 56. (Favorite Rosanne Cash song? “Seven-Year Ache.”)

When I was young, every kid it seemed either learned how to play a guitar or an accordion. I chose “B” …. welcome to the latest edition of the High 5:

TODAY: On this day in 1829, Cyrill Demian patented the accordion. Where would Myron Floren and Lawrence Welk have been without Cyrill’s foresight?

FOUND ON FACEBOOK: “Disappointed that only two people got killed with a chainsaw in Texas Chainsaw Massacre!! What is that??”

OVERRATED: Alex Rodriguez, the Yankees’ third baseman who is showing the effects of both age and a lack of steroids. A-Rod’s salary this year is roughly $33 million.

UNDERRATED: America’s baseball team, the Cleveland Indians, with a payroll of only $49 million, has the best record in MLB. And $22 million of that total is on the disabled list in the form Travis Hafner and Grady Sizemore.

Drew Carey

BIRTHDAY BANTER: I honestly thought Joan Collins was much older than 78 …

– Comedian Drew Carey is 53. (Three things Drew and I have in common: our hilarious wit, our waistlines and our unbridled love of the Cleveland Indians.)
– Singer Jewel is 37. (While she’s had a fine career, I thought when she burst on to the scene more than a decade ago she was destined for Hall of Fame status. Guess not.)
– Actress Joan Collins is 78. (She was no Abby Ewing.)
– Actor Charles Kimbrough of Murphy Brown is 74. (He always had better lines than Candace Bergen.)
