Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on May 14, 1953)

Happy Birthday to the legendary John Rutsey! You rocked the drums so hard on Rush's debut album, you practically invented Canadian air drumming. Sure, you left before Neil Peart took over, but hey—someone had to warm up those drumsticks first!

Even though your time with Rush was brief, your beats laid the foundation for one of rock's greatest bands. Fans still crank up that first album and think: "Wow, this guy knew how to make some noise!" Here's hoping your birthday is filled with as much rhythm and fun as those early jam sessions. Keep rocking wherever you are!
