Will the Real Ron Barnette Please Stand Up?

Dunedin Vice Mayor Ron Barnette recently celebrated his 70th with a birthday theater party at Blur Night Club.

Dunedin Vice Mayor Ron Barnette celebrated his 70th with a "birthday theater" party at Blur Night Club on July 1.

About 140 friends attended, including family that flew in from as far away as California and London. Barnette spent a good part of the evening dancing with his 3-year-old granddaughter and, apparently, impersonating Rod Stewart.

He wrote to Dunedin Patch:

"I was most charmed with this fun limerick, which made me smile:

There once was a man
Named Ron Barnette
Who was mistaken A LOT
For Rod Stewart
Though the hair is the same
The kind that won't tame
Ron just fluffs his cut
And says 'Screw it!'"
