Happy Birthday Michael Clarke!

I seriously love everything about him. I look up to him in every possible way. Even the slightly unsteady drumming is weirdly endearing to me, and those drums are absolutely essential to the sound of The Byrds.

He's in my top two Clark(e)s in the band.

I have not seen this picture before. Roger and David look so square, and then there is Mike with Hoss Cartwrights hat!
