Happy Birthday, Alejandro Escovedo! You've punk-rocked your way from Rank and File to a legendary solo career, giving guitars everywhere something to aspire to. Your innovative spirit turned punk and alternative music upside down—in the best possible way. Younger bands still try (and often hilariously fail) at matching your effortless cool.As you celebrate another trip around the sun in style, remember—age is just like an encore: it keeps coming back because everyone loves you too much! Congrats on continuing musical brilliance; may your riffs remain timelessly bold and edgy enough for generations yet unborn. Rock on forever!
