88 years old (Born on January 31, 1937)
Happy Birthday, Philip Glass! Another year older and still composing circles around everyone else. Your minimalist masterpieces continue to mesmerize audiences worldwide—proving once again that less truly is more (except when it comes to candles on your cake).From "Einstein on the Beach" to recent performances captivating new generations, you've shown us all how repetition can be revolutionary—and oddly catchy. May this birthday bring you as much joy as your music brings confusion to first-time listeners trying desperately not to lose count.
Here's wishing you another harmonious trip around the sun filled with endless inspiration and minimal distractions!
