Our favorite front-man turns 48 today.

Sing with me...

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Bono
Happy Birthday to you

Tomorrow is the last day to donate to the African Well Fund's annual "Bono's Birthday Well" fundraiser.

The first drive in honor of our favorite front-man was held in 2003 with the intent of collecting $1,000 to build one well in Bono's honor. That year, the African Well Fund collected more than $10,000. The second year, $15,000 was raised. More than $26,000 was collected for Bono's Birthday Well in 2005. Over $32,000 was collected in 2006.

Donations are tax-deductible and can be made in any amount. Once you contribute, you have the option of signing an online birthday card for Bono.

Welcome to @U2's Question of the Month for May 2008: In today's youth-focused and disposable music landscape, why do you feel U2's music is still relevant?

Please send your responses to atu2.com@gmail.com by May 21. We'll post your answers -- and a new question -- on June 4.

Want to see what QOM is all about? Check out the responses to previous Questions of the Month in our News Database. And keep these guidelines in mind:

• Share your own experiences, not your friend's or some random stranger's. Also, a lot of people might read your answer if we post it on @U2, so please keep that in mind if you're sharing personal information.
• Please tell us your full name.
• Since we don't know how many responses we'll get, we can't promise to publish them all. You can improve your chances by being specific, personal and brief (200 words or less is best). We reserve the right to edit for grammar, spelling and length.

QOM -- where @U2 turns the spotlight on you!

June 5th marks the 25th anniversary of the legendary Red Rocks concert and if you were there, we'd love to hear from you. If you were in the audience or part of the crew, please send us your stories and memories (and even photos if you have them), by May 26th to atu2redrocks@gmail.com

Here at @U2, one of the things we're most proud of is the original content we provide, created exclusively by our staff. In case you missed any of it in April, the highlights are posted here:

@U2 welcomed new podcast co-producer Jaime Rodriguez as he hosted our April show. Guest writer Madeline Calhoun, age 8 wrote a book review of Bono: Rock Star Activist by Martha Trachtenberg. Guest cartoonist "BUN" took over for Kelly's April Achtoon Baby as she focused on planning her wedding, and news writer Maddy Fry reviewed the Africa Celebrates U2 tribute album.

In our weekly Off the Record column, Matt McGee began the month by catching readers up on some current goals for the @U2 site, while Liseth Meijer weighed in on the anticipated U2 summer re-issues. Sherry Lawrence took us through some U2 spring cleaning, and John Tuohy discussed what it was like as a blind person to "see" U2 3D.

Our news writers Kelley Eskridge and Jennifer Tomooka revealed the answers to the March @U2 Question of the Month, which asked fans "What is your favorite quote from a band member, and why?"

And finally, our popular Like a Song series continued with an essay on "A Room at the Heartbreak Hotel" by Maddy Fry.

No album news, but we do have a celebrity sighting -- make that a multi-celebrity sighting. Looks like Edge spent his Sunday n the south of France, hanging out on the beach with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (and their kids).

Can you tell it's a slow news period? Yeah, us too.

Lots more photos at the link below....
