Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on May 20, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Joey Waronker! You're the rhythmic wizard who's kept Beck grooving and R.E.M. rocking—proving that behind every legendary band is a drummer who secretly controls all our dance moves. From your iconic beats in the '90s to your recent sonic adventures with Atoms for Peace, you've consistently reminded us why drummers are always cooler than lead singers.

Here's wishing you another year filled with epic drum solos, endless applause (even if it's just from Thom Yorke nodding approvingly), and plenty of backstage snacks worthy of rock royalty like yourself. Keep making history one beat at a time!
