Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on January 15, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Raegan Butcher! Another year older and still punk-rocking harder than ever. From the gritty brilliance of "Stone Hotel" to your lyrical mastery in "Rusty String Quartet," you've proven that anarchist poets age like fine wine—rebelliously complex yet always refreshingly sharp.

And let's not forget your musical triumphs; since releasing “Pale & Skinny: 1986–1992,” you’ve reminded us all how timeless true punk spirit can be. May this birthday bring more poetic inspiration, louder guitars, fewer rules—and absolutely no mellowing out whatsoever. Keep shaking things up—you’re our favorite literary rebel with a cause (or without one)!
