Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on May 20, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Guy Hoffman! May your day be as rhythmically flawless and effortlessly cool as your legendary beats with the Violent Femmes. From keeping perfect time behind classics like "Blister in the Sun," to energizing crowds alongside Oil Tasters and BoDeans, you've always known how to drum up excitement.

Here's hoping this year brings you more memorable gigs, fewer broken sticks, and plenty of backstage snacks. Keep rocking those drums—because let's face it: birthdays come once a year, but great drummers are timeless. Cheers to another spin around life's stage; may your tempo never falter!
