When my sister got engaged she considered a March wedding, to which I oh-so-cleverly remarked "Beware the I dos of March." She quickly
went on as if I had said nothing scolded me for joking about something for which the ramifications included the Liberators' civil war, the ascendancy of Caesar's adopted heir Octavian to the position of emperor, and the dissolution of the Republic, leading to the Empire, and her wedding ended up not being in March anyway.
But Julius "Salad" Caesar isn't the only person to die on March 15.
Mikey Dread did, and he produced one of the all-time great Clash songs,
Bankrobber (which could've made Sandinista! an actual great album had it been included, along with making it a single album.)
