Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on July 27, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Dan Bern! Another year older, wiser, and still strumming fiercely—nobody rocks a political anthem quite like you. From boldly singing "Bush Must Be Defeated" to dreaming of becoming "President in 2004," you've always told it exactly as you saw it—and made us laugh out loud doing so.

Whether stirring up gentle rebellion or hilariously reminding us that politicians come (and thankfully go), your sharp wit and honest lyrics remain timeless classics. So here's hoping this birthday finds the guitars tuned perfectly and inspiration abundant; celebrate big—you've earned another year conquering hearts with humor-filled songs!
