Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on January 15, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Duke Erikson! You're the musical wizard who effortlessly juggles instruments like most of us juggle TV remotes. From crafting iconic riffs to shaping Garbage's groundbreaking sound—selling over seventeen million albums worldwide—you've proven that being "Only Happy When It Rains" can actually be pretty sunny.

Here's hoping your birthday rocks harder than a sold-out stadium show and is smoother than Shirley Manson’s vocals. May you continue making timeless tunes, defying genres, and reminding us all why we fell in love with alternative rock in the first place. Cheers to another year of garbage that's anything but trashy!
