Happy 61st to perhaps the most polarizing figure in all of rock music - Bono. How about TWO of them?

That looks like a shot from "Rock Fans' Most Wanted" right there.

Happy Birthday to The Who's Pete Townshend, who turns 76 today.
Much like Brian Wilson, Townshend was a vision who was one of the first to view an album as an artform. Also, like Brian, trying to piece together a masterpiece nearly drove him mad (Lifehouse, also the aborted Lifehouse yielded one of rock's greatest albums in its own right).

I've said it before and I'll say it again, IMO Pete has not gotten the credit he deserved as songwriter, guitar player, and a just overall rock & roll personality.

I've said this on other threads, but I think one of the reasons if that The Who never really went away. So, they never had that mystique that The Beatles, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, or even Queen have. I think when the dust settles though, Pete will get his due. Sell Out and Quadrophenia's statuses have increased in recent years.

I'm a day late, and a dollar short, but Scorpions lead singer Klaus Meine celebrated his 73rd yesterday.

Even though their run was brief, CCR has to at least be in the discussion of America's Greatest Rock Band. And John's got some very solid solo releases.
