Happy Birthday, Fred Durst

The Limp Bizkit frontman / budding film director / Twitterholic turns 39 today. Yes, that’s right—only one more year until the poster child for late-20th-century rage hits the big four-oh! Watch as much of this (slightly NSFW) clip of Limp Bizkit’s Woodstock 1999 performance of “Break Stuff” as you can, and take a moment to reflect on how far Fred, me, you, and everyone have come over the past 10 years. I mean, at least the vague sense of embarrassment that the lyric “it’s all about the he said she said bullshit” inspires is felt by more people now than it was then, right? [YouTube / MTV Newsroom]
