Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on December 03, 1963)

Happy birthday, Joe! Whether you're keeping it steady on bass or making crowds groove with Fugazi classics like "Full Disclosure," your understated style proves you don't need flashy solos when you've got sheer rhythm and presence.

From those legendary DC days to today's adventures, your musical journey remains an inspiration—solid grooves, purposeful beats, and that timeless dose of punk attitude. May this year give you as much joy as you've brought listeners over the decades...and hopefully fewer broken guitar strings.

Rock on forever—and remember: bassists always age gracefully; it's scientifically proven (we think). Have a fantastic birthday, Joe!
