• The legendary jazz bassist Ron Carter celebrated his 87th birthday on May 4
• The 68th anniversary of the birth of the great soul artist Sharon Jones was on May 4
• The 82nd anniversary of the birth of one of the most beloved singer/songwriters in country, Tammy Wynette was on May 5
• Echo & The Bunnymen‘s Ian McCullouch celebrated his 65th birthday on May 5
• Van Halen co-founder, drummer — and most important Eddie’s brother, Alex Van Halen celebrated his 71st birthday on May 8
• Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan celebrated his 62nd birthday on May 9

U2‘s Bono turns 64 today y’all. Those who know me outside of social media know that I’m a huge U2 fan, and have been since the ’80s. Achtung Baby is one of my favorite albums ever recorded. I’m not kidding. 

So happy birthday, Bono! Thank you for music that’s been a major part of my life’s soundtrack. And may be there many, many, many more!
