Happy 42nd birthday to John!

Year after year, we give our warmest support to John Frusciante's musical efforts - whether it's been his solo work, his two long stints with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, his collaborations with other artists from or something completely different, in the spirit of Speed Dealer Moms or studio sessions with Swahili Blonde. We were witnessing history happening right before our eyes, multiple times, too.
As of today, "our" John is 42 years old. During the last 12 months, he was as busy as ever, appearing on other artists' albums, as well as in a couple of documentaries. It's confirmed that he's working on new material, we know that he's tied the knot and that he's a hall of fame inductee, together with his former band. The creativity never stops and therefore, support never stops, either.
Though there's no official action of wishing him a happy birthday, nor does anyone know if he ever comes across such things; make sure you think of him today. Furthermore, you can leave a happy birthday message in comments of this news item. Just make it tasteful. Make it spontaneous. Let your heart speak to someone whose music made an impact on you. Make it a message of health, love, happiness and inspiration. No stupid application using generated text that spams around can make up for your real feelings.
Happy birthday, John!

Dear John, I hope you continue to do what you love with the blessings of the Gods. You have people that love you from the bottom of their soul even if they never met you, they still love you as family because your a part of their spiritual reality.

Well, as I already wrote in my letter, which I do hope has reached You by now - stay creative, be healthy and all the other universal things in life I wish You. Thank You for just being there with your work, through which You are helping me every single day to find myself. Thank You for your existence in this /and hopefully not only this/ dimension. Words cannot really express how I feel about You. Just want to say You're my biggest inspiration with the purest soul and perspective of the world.
With all my love and gratitude - Happy Birthday, You lovely man!
Hope you have a wonderful birthday Mr Frusciante! Your music has brought me so much peace and happiness and i'm so glad to be alive at this time to hear it, dance to it and to sing along with you. I dream that you'll someday come to Devon in England with your lovely wife and we can have a picnic up on Dartmoor and you can bring your guitar along, that would be heaven! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! xx
Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep on creating the best music in the world!!
You inspire many people, including me

Since I've been around nine, I've been listening to red hot chili peppers, and absolutely loving the music! I remember late nights with my discman (yeah, such archaic technology, right?) listening to By the Way and Blood Sugar albums and feeling everything was right in the world.
Many years later, I was lost: I was on my last highschool year and still didn't know what to do with my life: I wanted to study some kind of art but I just wouldn't dare. Many people don't. That was when I rediscovered red hot's music and discovered John's solo work for the first time. I was so animated I made up my mind on studying something I liked instead of something that would give me money for sure, and also began learning to play various instruments such as guitar, piano or flamenco box drum. This was about April: next year, however, I stumbled across John's birthday same day as carnival where I live (the Canary Islands) and instead of putting on a costume, I took a white t-shirt and painted "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN FRUSCIANTE" on the front and "5TH MARCH" on the back, and wore it out to everywhere I went, spreading knowledge and music of John Frusciante to anyone that asked.
The year after that (last year) I had to work early on the very same day, and at first I didn't remember about it. However, I was oddly happy at work (I say oddly because usually I was miserable there) and I couldn't realize why, I just felt that "it was a good day". Then I came back home for lunch and remembered about his birthday: I was so happy, I found the same shirt and put it on, and spent all the rest of the day having good thoughts and listening to John's music solely once again.
Today, I am sitting in my room: I am far away from home studying Cinema and Television, as I dreamed, but certain things have come with me from the other corner of the world. Today, once again, I am wearing the same t-shirt I quickly painted two years ago to wear to the carnival: what once was a COSTUME has now become a CUSTOM for me. Today, once again, I am listening only to John's music, as I do every year. Today, once again, John's birthday was a great day, I spend the morning doing a publicity research with a group of friends and had a good time, and I am still to go to the city centre tonight with a bunch of my friends dressed up in costumes and right now I'm meeting some other friends in my room to smoke and listen to John's work. Today, once again, as every year, I am at peace with the world, and I feel good at the place I am. Today, I thank John to the infinite, for the life that he has helped me accomplish and the bright future that lays ahead, always with him by my side. Today, once again, I say:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN FRUSCIANTE, 5TH MARCH.

Happy birthday Maestro, you are like a flower in my life. Many thanks to God, your mother and your father to have you. Bruna, Roma ~ Italia.
Happy birthday, John! The world is a more beautiful place because you play and sing your music in it. And sometimes just because you talk and share your thoughts! I don't know if you reflect its beauty or it reflects yours. But you are a lovely soul.... Peace and much love!
Happy Birthday John, I love you
Have a great one my friend!!!! wish you all the joy in the universe!!!
It is such a blessing to have people like John in the world, ones that actually build upon their gift, sharing their
vision of what most of us cannot grasp and while doing so they are capable of creating something extraordinary, just pure delight. Wish you many-many years to come!
Happy Birthday John! I wish you peace, health and endless happiness. Love your music!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHNNY!!!!!!!!!
I wish you much love and happiness and lots of good luck working on the new album.
I hope you have a wonderful birthday party
Happy birthday john, may the sun shine brightly on your soul!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY DAE ILL B LISTENING TO ALL YOUR ALBUMZ TODAY! THE BEST IS AHEAD
Thanks John. For everything. For your music and poetry. Have a nice birthday. You really deserve it
PS KEEP IT REAL
Johnny you rock our world everyday. Thank you.
Now John's birthday is nearly over in my country, and I can say, that it was a happy and joyful day, because I thought that whole day of this special person, and listened to his special music. John is my life - he is the one, who devided it into before and after. His music is my whole life's gift, that I'm very grateful to. I hope that he'll stay well and healthy, and will be able to do everything he wants to, without any pressure from any side. I hope him to be free, as he wants too, although it "seems pointless from above".
Feliz cumpleaños John!!! Mis mejores deseos y toda la felicidad del mundo para vos! Luz!

Happy Birthday John
You are an inspiration for me since the day i start listening to the Peppers. Your music is just a flow of pure energy and feeling.
Thank You.
André
It's not only the fact that I love your music.
It's the fact, that as a musician myself, you've influenced me greatly. Even as a bass player, when I listened to the RHCP way too often, your guitar playing influenced my bass more than Flea's bass itself.
So, if you didn't exist, god knows how would I be today. I wouldn't be what I am now. I wouldn't probably even play bass.
I owe you that.
Thanks for existing. Keep doing that for even more years.
Happy b-day John. We all thank you for your beautiful, breath-taking music, it truly heals our minds. Wishing you the best!
Hi john, I'm a big fan of your music and you from Turkey.I love you so much.Thanks for making the world liveable.I think you are the best guitarist alive.Happy 42nd birthday P.S: don't be worry you look like 22

Feliz cumpleaños John!!! tú guitarra ha expresado muchos de los sentimientos que vivimos como seres humanos, sin duda alguno eres el mejor... sigue sonando John!!!
Happy Birthday to the most amazing, beautiful, talented person I've ever known. Thank you for your music, John. I cherish every single song and will for many years.
Happy Birthday John. I love you. <3
Another cycle complete, hope this one is as rich and thought provoking as your music. I often imagine I'm jamming with you when I play guitar, I wonder if you ever get the feeling you are jamming with someone thousands of miles away...
"But the way you make feel is all that's really real"
Happy birthday Frusciante ^^
i wish i had more to say than just happy birthday. but it is really hard to write down your best wishes for your dearest musician. because whatever i say, it is going to be incomplete.
hope you're doing well, sharing a nice bottle of wine with your friends&family, some good music, a very tasty meal, all the joy and all the peace...oh crap! i screwed up!
john, you rock my world!
see you in the next dimension.
Happy Birthday John!
Have a wonderful year. God knows you deserve it.
You saved my life this year John anthony frusciante. In return for this favor I will dedicate my life to being the best and deepest musician I know how and to always aspire to create art which has the level or purity, passion, and integrity that is found in everything you create. You have given me a reason to live and make me feel good about being myself because I know I can always look to you for happiness and inspiration when I find none around me.
If Your Birthday Is Today__Actress Eva Mendes (1974) shares your birthday today. You enjoy the company of others however, you seek solitude to perfect a particular skill or technique. You have the discipline to do so because you try to stay in touch with what it is you hope to achieve. This focus on your goals is the key to your success. A change might take place this year, perhaps as significant as something that changed around 2003.____Happy Birthday John!__Looking forward to your new album.__Love and blessings from Canada
Happy birthday John, thank you for all the music you share with us.
Dear John, now you know the answer to life, universe and everything else: It's 42. But without being aware of that particular date I played INSIDE OF EMTINESS this morning, after a long time. Synchronicity, velocity, 666, 23? Anyway, thank you so much - this one alone would have made you immortal! Endless regards, Thomas
As it is still 5th of March in California right now (but not for long) I wish you again a "bon anniversaire" from France
Thanks for existing John (not original but sincere)
Lots of love :*
happy bdae john, i wonder what you did to celebrate....maybe invite flea and chad over to ur crib for a hard, fast, funk slap, unbridled jam session!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy birthday to you Mr Frusciante ! Quite belated due to a major power failure where I live ! Yesterday was kind of magic ! Snow fell all day long, coming out of nowhere as the last days were quite warm ! The whole town looked different, covered in snow with, no lights, closed shops ! Funny !
Happy Birthday John Anthony Frusciante, we all hope that you are happy and relaxed with your wife and family to celebrate your birthday. We are doing our part sending you a lot of love from all over the world, USA, Italy, Brazil,India.. We may speak different languages but we're guided by the same feelings we have for you as a musician, as a person, as a fucking genius. You and your music make us able to keep dreaming.
We love you John.
Felicidade al mejor guitarrista del mundo!

Thank you for all the art - and I'm looking forward to hearing new material
-M.
John,
Come back to the Chili Peppers you little bitch!! Happy birthday you little hoe. Oh yeah and people here still suck....
Happy belated birthday John! (yes I'll acknowlege I was 2 days late :/) I hope all is fantastic in life and wish all the best! Keep creating, the world is a better place for it.
happy birthday john! every year you spend on this earth being creative is multiplied into many years of happiness and inspiration for me and obviously many others. i love you. ive loved you since i was nine and my cousin gave me a blood sugar sex magik cassette before i knew your name and it opened up my heart for music infinitely. when i first heard niandra, i was in disbelief and bliss and awe that someone could capture feelings i had in my soul and recreate them with guitar and voice. your music has been the soundtrack for my life and often my salvation. i feel like you express things that i feel but could never put into words. thank you so much.
I'm with you, John.
Are u here john? I am your super fans of u. Hope u can come to hong kong
John quiero decirte cuan inspiradora es tu música, si tu felicidad y razón de ser es crear esta maravillosa música para hacerle sentir al publico la belleza que hay en la vida, en nuestra conexión con la naturaleza, en el amor, puedes ser feliz porque lo has logrado. Esta música maravillosa le ha dado sentido a existir, eres una bendición, decirte cuanto te quiero sonaría exagerado porque es demasiado. Mua!
Happy Birthday John. I don't normally write to or for celebrities but I feel compelled. Always loved RHCP's but never noticed who's who until now (and I'm older than you a tad bit..lol). I have no musical ability at all, nothing. But I am apparantly a very gifted painter. Why tell you this? Because I did not paint or draw at all for 25 of my 45 years. Because I was afraid to go near the part of myself those abilities reside. It actually broke my family's heart when I quit but I couldn't say why. I've been at it for the past 7 years. Doing good, selling even! And your music helps me overcome the fear I have of the place within from which that "behavior" (won't say "skill") originates. Thank you that is the most amazing gift.
John, I know its a bit late but happy Birthday, if it wasn't for you i wouldn't play guitar as i do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U R A GUITAR HERO MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE U!!!!!!!!!!!
