Really, do you celebrate your birthday six months in advance? I'm as big a Bird fan as the next guy but let's not be premature here. But on the other hand, collectively we should all start a campaign to push Google to put up a Charlie Parker logo on August 29th.

Is there a way to try and request google?
I definitely second that!

Sorry for not waiting until August but I have this funny idea that it is better to publicize events before they happen rather than after they are over.
