79 years old (Born on May 19, 1945)
Happy Birthday, Pete Townshend! Another year older and still smashing guitars—though hopefully fewer than in your younger days. From windmilling chords to penning timeless anthems like "My Generation," you've shown us all that rock legends don't age; they just get louder.Whether it's the iconic riffs of "Baba O'Riley" or the storytelling brilliance behind albums like *Tommy* and *Quadrophenia*, your music continues to inspire generations. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've given fans worldwide—and perhaps a cake sturdy enough for one more epic guitar smash (just kidding...sort of). Rock on forever, Pete!
