Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on November 03, 1979)

Happy Birthday, Tim McIlrath! Another year older and still raging against the machine—though at this point, it's probably more like politely disagreeing with the coffee maker. Your powerful voice and passionate lyrics continue to inspire us all; clearly, age hasn't mellowed your rebellious spirit one bit.

From electrifying performances that ignite stadiums to recent successes reminding fans why you're a rock legend, you've proven time and again that punk rock isn't just music—it's an attitude. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter, loud guitars, and cake that's as timelessly awesome as you are. Keep rocking on!
