Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on April 14, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Simon Crowe! From keeping perfect rhythm with The Boomtown Rats to drumming up beats for Velcro Flies and Jiggerypipery—your sticks have always hit the right notes. You've proven that great music never goes out of style; it just gets louder (and occasionally needs reading glasses).

Whether it's your iconic grooves from "I Don't Like Mondays" or those unforgettable live performances back in Ireland's new wave heyday, you've kept us tapping our feet through decades. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've given fans worldwide—and remember: age is merely tempo increasing slightly each year!
