Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on February 16, 1980)

Happy birthday to the incredible Longineu W. Parsons III—master of beats, keeper of rhythm, and drummer extraordinaire! Ever since you helped Yellowcard rock our teenage years with "Ocean Avenue," your powerful rhythms have stuck in our heads more famously than Ryan Key’s unforgettable chorus. Seriously, air-drumming fans worldwide owe their best moves—and occasional furniture-destroying enthusiasm—to your unstoppable talent.

Whether crushing stages at reunion tours or reminding us that pop-punk never truly fades (it just wears cooler hoodies), you've continued showcasing precisely why you're irreplaceable behind those drums. Keep drumming loud, keep being awesome—we salute you today and always!
