Grateful Dead ex-guitarist Bob Weir is celebrating his 78th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter-guitarist Bob Weir has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 78th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Weir, a cultural icon

Born Robert Hall Weir in San Francisco on October 16, 1947, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Weir's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Bob hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Bob Weir as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 78.

Happy Birthday, Bob, you're the best!
