Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on July 04, 1972)

Happy Birthday, William Goldsmith! May your day be filled with more rhythm than a Foo Fighters drum solo and as much emotional depth as Sunny Day Real Estate's debut album—which still reigns supreme at #1 on L.A. Weekly’s Top 20 Emo Albums list. Clearly, you've mastered the art of drumming straight into our hearts.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater beats, fewer broken sticks, and endless applause for all those unforgettable moments behind the kit. Keep rocking out timelessly—because legends like you never go out of style (or emo). Cheers to another epic spin around the sun!
