Today is punk icon Ian MacKaye’s 50th birthday, and we got him a present. Just kidding! We bet the founder of punk and hardcore label Dischord Records and founding member of the bands Minor Threat and Fugazi eschews gifts of any kind. So instead, we made him this gallery of other oldster rock musicians and icons who are also in their 50s.

Way back in the stone age when I was a kid, there were only a handful of popular ways you could wish someone a happy birthday. There was the face-to-face method. There was the tried and true phone call. And there was the always-thoughtful greeting card.
