Career
Kevin Dunn (musician)
Kevin Dunn (a/k/a Kevin McFoy Dunn), born 10 October 1951 in Jacksonville, Florida, is a guitarist, producer, and songwriter who first came to public notice in context of the fertile new wave scene that arose in Athens and Atlanta, GA, in the late 1970s. In 1975 he and collaborator Alfredo Villar formed the Fans, one of the first Southeastern bands for whom the influence of blues or country music was not primary, their chief inspiration lying instead in the British art rock of the era (Brian Eno, Roxy Music, Robert Fripp, etc.). The band issued three singles — the second of which, "Cars and Explosions" (b/w "Dangerous Goodbyes"), was produced by Mark Miller-Mundy and released on Dai Davies' Albion label — but, destabilized by artistic differences between the principals and disheartened by the failure of a protracted dalliance with A&M Records that had been championed by the label's then-head of A&R John Anthony, they disbanded in 1979.
Kevin Dunn (bishop)
The Right Reverend Kevin John Dunn (9 July 1950 – 1 March 2008) was the twelfth Roman Catholic Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle.

He studied for the priesthood at Oscott College, Birmingham, and was ordained at Our Lady and St Werbergh's Church, Clayton, Newcastle-under-Lyme on 17 January 1976.

Famous quotes by Kevin Dunn:
Year At A Time
I don't wanna bite of more than I can chew,
I'm lettin' go of a little bit of you, at a time.
I think I go the faith of a mustard seed,
To move this mountain of memories, so high.
I took another picture down,
It's a little less of you just hanging around.
I'm turnin' loose one memory at a time,
An' I'll say:
Goodbye to '91.
That summer was so much fun.
Our love was sweet and young back then.
An' there goes September '92,
The first time we said: "I love you."
By now you should be easy to forget.
But time's not flyin' by,
I hope I don't lose my mind.
Lettin' go of you,
A year at a time.
Every Monday, I start out, another week.
Seven days tryin' not to speak your name.
I got a self-help book from my best friend.
I'll try anything if I think it'll end this pain.
Every day that's creepin' by,
Is a little more hurt I leave behind.
I'm gettin' further down the road each day,
So I'll say:
C'est la vie to '93,
What kind of spell did you put on me?
I'll never love like that again.
Don't: close the door on '94,
I can't go back there no more.
Only in my dreams every now an' then.
But time's not flyin' by,
I hope I don't lose my mind.
Lettin' go of you,
A year at a time.
Spent '95 through '99,
Just tryin' not to lose my mind.
Lettin' go of you,
A year, (2000.)
I cried a million tears,
(O1 an' '02.)
Lettin' go of you,
