Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on February 26, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Mitch Ryder! You're still rockin' harder than a Detroit muscle car revving at full throttle. From your electrifying days with the Detroit Wheels to those legendary live performances that left audiences breathless (and probably slightly deaf), you've proven age is just another number on the amplifier dial.

Here's hoping your birthday celebration has all the energy of "Devil With a Blue Dress On" and none of the blues—unless you're singing them, of course! Keep bringing down houses and raising spirits; after all these years, you remain timelessly cool. Rock on forever, Mitch—we're cheering louder than ever!
