Happy Birthday, Stan Ridgway! From Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio" to your solo albums like "Mosquitos" and the eccentric brilliance of “Partyball,” you've brought us music filled with intriguing stories and wonderfully weird imagery. Your unique blend of narrative songwriting has made all our stereos more interesting—and definitely a bit quirkier.On this special day, we celebrate not only your distinctive voice but also every quirky lyric that's left listeners simultaneously puzzled yet singing along enthusiastically for decades. May you continue crafting moments as unforgettable (and surreal) as discovering there's nothing quite so comforting or confusing as getting stuck on Mexican radio—again!
