Happy Birthday, Mark Knopfler! You've given us timeless riffs and unforgettable lyrics—making air guitarists everywhere believe they're rock legends. From the iconic "Sultans of Swing" solos to the storytelling magic in "Romeo and Juliet," your music has been our soundtrack through life's ups, downs, and awkward dance moves.Even after Dire Straits' legendary run, you've continued crafting musical gems with solo albums that prove you're still a master storyteller. May your birthday be filled with joy—and may you never experience money for nothing or chicks for free shortages. Keep rocking; we promise we'll keep pretending we're worthy backup singers!
