Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on April 13, 1938)

Happy birthday to the brilliant Frederic Rzewski—a virtuoso whose life's work blurs the line between music performance and political activism! Your impressive masterpieces such as "The People United Will Never Be Defeated!" continue inspiring musicians worldwide. And let's not forget "Coming Together," your compelling anthem drawn from Sam Melville’s heartfelt letters during Attica's historic prison riots—proving that revolution can indeed be set to a catchy tune.

Cheers, maestro, for gracefully navigating every improv session through provocative sounds of secularism and fearless creativity over decades. May you always be united with celebrating crowds—and cake never defeated by candles!
