Happy Birthday, Berton Averre! May your day be filled with more catchy riffs than "My Sharona" and fewer awkward dance moves from fans trying to imitate it. Your guitar solos have inspired countless air-guitarists worldwide—though none quite match the original.From rocking stages alongside legends like Robby Krieger and The Cowsills, you've proven that great music never goes out of style—even if hairstyles do. Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy (and slightly less hairspray) as those unforgettable '80s hits did for all of us!
Keep shredding strong; you're still our favorite Knack-tastic guitarist!
