What was the worst birthday you ever had? Was it that time you invited your whole class to your party and only one kid came? Or when you came down with the flu and not even your family wanted to be around you? Or how about when you were severely injured in a Frank Grimes-esque silo explosion? As for me, my worst birthday was when Sub Pop garage rockers Happy Birthday went on a summer tour and didn’t come to my town on my birthday. Wait, never mind, my birthday is in March. Still, Happy Birthday are going on tour this summer. Maybe they’ll even come to your town and make your birthday one to remember. Or maybe the dog will eat your cake.
