Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton (D) on Thursday declared Aug. 8 “Beyoncé and Jay-Z Day.”

“Beyoncé and Jay-Z have taken home numerous awards from platforms such as the Grammy Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, BET Awards, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and NAACP Image Awards, among others and have sold millions of records worldwide,” the Minnesota Democrat said of his decision in the official proclamation.

“Through their lives and music, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have inspired Minnesotans, and music fans around the world,” Dayton continued in the proclamation establishing the new statewide holiday.

Neither has anything to do with Minnesota. Why not an Arnold Stang day?
