Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on February 11, 1954)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Michael Thompson—the guy whose guitar speaks louder than any words and who puts more soul into his blues riffs than most of us put cream cheese on our bagels. From rock anthems that'll forever echo through stadiums, to timeless tunes that make every listener feel cooler just knowing your name—you've nailed them all.

Here's wishing another year filled with infectious grooves, spontaneous jams, and solos so epic they should come with warning labels. Keep rocking, laughing loudest backstage (we know it's you!), and proving age is merely a number—not how many amplifiers one can own! Cheers!
