Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on March 05, 1964)

Happy Birthday, Brad! From shredding bass lines in Cleveland's punk scene to exploring Zen enlightenment behind the camera, you've truly mastered the art of being hardcore—both musically and spiritually. Your documentary "Cleveland's Screaming" still echoes loudly, reminding us all that punk never dies; it just meditates quietly between gigs.

And let's not forget your Zen journey captured brilliantly in "Brad Warner's Hardcore Zen." Who knew punk rock and Soto Zen could blend so seamlessly? Here's to another year of rocking stages, enlightening minds, and proving that inner peace pairs perfectly with a killer bass riff. Keep rocking (and meditating) on!
