Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on December 12, 1948)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Bill Harkleroad—better known as Zoot Horn Rollo! Your guitar riffs have twisted minds and bent ears since your days with Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band. May your birthday be filled with more surprises than a Beefheart composition, yet smoother than one of your iconic solos.

From "Trout Mask Replica" to inspiring generations of musicians who still scratch their heads in awe, you've proven that musical genius can indeed come wrapped in humorously surreal packages. Here's hoping this year brings you continued success, endless creativity—and fewer puzzled looks when explaining song titles at family gatherings!
