Popular musician-director Fred Durst has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Durst, a cultural icon

Born William Frederick Durst in Gastonia on August 20, 1970, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Durst's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Fred hasn't done.

Happy Birthday, Fred, you're the best!
