Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on February 21, 1952)

Happy Birthday Jean-Jacques Burnel! Whether slamming down legendary bass riffs for The Stranglers or infusing anime classics like "Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo" with your unmistakable musical swagger, you've certainly kept fans grooving—and guessing—for decades. Not everyone achieves timeless rebelliousness as smoothly as you do—but hey, punk rock has never had such melodic class.

From brooding vocals to mesmerizing soundtracks, you've shown us how a true legend refuses to age—though we're pretty sure there's a portrait hidden somewhere doing that for you. Keep rocking and rolling in perpetual coolness; here's hoping this year brings encore-worthy adventures!
