Happy 60th birthday, @BillNye, who made science fun on TV but took global warming seriously. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Nye
Jimi Hendrix, one of the most acclaimed electric guitarists of rock 'n' roll, was born this day in 1942. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimi_Hendrix

No idea how global these are (my gut says Bill Nye is the "least" global but I may be wrong) but overall they all look good :)
[/me fondly remembers crawling/sneaking (the floor boards creaked... I had to crawl to avoid waking parents up) to start the VCR to record Bill Nye the Science Guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Nye_the_Science_Guy when I was like.... very little ... because it was on at like 4 or 5am (and then sneaking back to bed because... still not a morning person)].

Heh, I think you're right. Bill Nye's only known in the UK because the internet loves him. The Science Guy didn't exist over here. :(
That said I have no quibbles with these! I think you may have actually already published them...
