Happy 70th Birthday Bill Cosby

A landmark birthday for the Cos, one of the most famous and (my personal) favorite celebrities of Philly. His career lately has been waning and the last decade were rather trying on him but while growing up, Cosby was a well-known comedian. The stories about his family growing up and the one he raised were always great because he tapped on universal themes everyone understands. His cartoon of Fat Albert went over my head though, I had no idea he was trying to teach a moral lesson. In his defense, I have to also thank him for never taking the same cheesy career path as Robin Williams by trying to show everyone his dramatic acting chops with lame flicks such as Insomnia or One Hour Photo. He will always be the funny guy from The Electric Company, Picture Pages and the concert movie Bill Cosby, Himself.
