Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on December 31, 1959)

Happy birthday, Paul Westerberg! May your day be filled with more joy than the time you famously forgot half the lyrics on stage and still managed to rock harder than anyone else. Your knack for turning life's messy moments into timeless anthems has kept us laughing, crying, and singing along—often all at once.

From "Unsatisfied" to "Can't Hardly Wait," you've penned songs that perfectly capture our beautifully flawed humanity. Here's hoping this year brings fewer replacements (pun intended) and even more unforgettable tunes. Keep rocking, keep writing—and please never stop reminding us it's okay not to have it all figured out!
