Badass Birthday
Today, way back in 1825, 200 years ago, in Vienna Austria, was born Johann Strauss II.
He is sometimes known as The Waltz King with a repertoire of over 500 waltzes, polkas, quadrilles and operettas. Impressive as all that is, what's makes him a badass is that he composed the Blue Danube Waltz, one of the most famous waltzes in history. Popularized for newer generations by its prominent usage in the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey.
He passed in 1899 at the age of 74.
