Happy Birthday, Jim Babjak—guitar hero and legendary songwriter extraordinaire of The Smithereens! Another spin around the sun means another jam-tastic year brewing up electrifying riffs that only you can deliver. From "Blood and Roses" to "Behind the Wall of Sleep," your signature style continues to charm us; even our air guitars nod in approval!Year after rockin' year, you've been turning chords into classics with infectious hooks we can't resist humming days later. Your timeless tunes age smoother than fine wine—and speaking of aging smoothly, here's hoping this birthday riff rings louder (and funnier) than ever before.
Rock on, Jim!
