Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on June 23, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Glenn Danzig—the legendary punk icon whose powerful riffs and unmistakable voice have haunted stage and stereo for decades. Whether howling with the Misfits in classic horror-punk fashion or unleashing dark bluesy grooves under his namesake band, your relentless talent never fades. Each birthday must surely be just another opportunity to confirm that yes, indeed: "Mother," there is still plenty left to show us.

May today's candles blaze brighter than a Samhain bonfire—but not bright enough for Jerry Only to crash your party. Stay fierce as ever atop music's shadowy throne; here's hoping this year brings even more killer moments—and fewer memes about kitty litter!
