Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on March 24, 1946)

Happy birthday, Klaus! May your day be filled with more rhythm than a Neu! track and enough cake to fuel another groundbreaking krautrock session. Your beats have always been timeless—just like the endless debates over how exactly to pronounce "Neu!" correctly.

From pioneering motorik rhythms that inspired generations of musicians, to collaborating with artists who probably still can't keep up with your tempo, you've truly set the standard for innovation. Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as fans get from air-drumming along to "Hallogallo." Keep rocking those drums; after all, age is just another beat in your legendary groove!
