Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on September 29, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Les Claypool! You're not just a phenomenal bass wizard from Primus—with fingers that defy physics—you're also the maestro of quirky musical storytelling. From "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" to conjuring up unforgettable anthems that'll forever echo through alternative rock history, you've given us timeless gems that are equal parts fascinating and utterly hilarious.

Your recent shows continue proving one universal truth: nobody slaps the bass into glorious weirdness quite like you. Here's hoping your birthday is funkier than your rhythms and stranger than Primus lyrics—and may all celebrations include more cowbell (and less seas of cheese)!
