Happy Birthday to the legendary Mick Avory! From keeping perfect rhythm behind The Kinks' greatest hits like "You Really Got Me," "Waterloo Sunset," and "Lola," your drumming has always been music's heartbeat. Rumor has it, even air-drummers everywhere secretly channel their inner Mick Avory when no one's watching.Your timeless beats continue to inspire generations of musicians—proof that great drummers never fade; they just keep better time. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and fewer drumstick splinters than those wild gigs back in the day. Keep rocking on—you've truly got us all beat!
