Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on August 22, 1962)

Happy Birthday, Gary Lee Conner! May your day be filled with more riffs than a grunge-era flannel shirt has plaid. From pioneering the Seattle sound with Screaming Trees to shredding solos that still echo through our speakers, you've proven that rock legends don't age—they just crank up the distortion.

Here's hoping your birthday is as epic as your guitar work on "Nearly Lost You," and may you continue to inspire generations of musicians who dream of mastering even half your talent. Keep rocking, Gary—because let's face it, you're not getting older; you're just turning up the volume!
