Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on April 01, 1945)

Happy Birthday, John Barbata! May your day rock harder than your legendary drum solos with Jefferson Starship. From keeping the beat steady on "Red Octopus" to driving rhythms that made fans soar higher than a Jefferson Airplane tour, you've always known how to keep everyone grooving.

Even though it's been decades since you first set stages ablaze with unforgettable performances, your rhythm remains timeless—just like those classic hits we still blast today. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much excitement and applause as when you nailed every beat back in '78. Keep rocking strong; you're forever our favorite drummer!
