August 8, 1961: David Evans is born in Barking Maternity Hospital, East London.

In case you're wondering who David Evans is, he's that guy in U2 that's always wearing a skull cap and holding a guitar. That's right, kids, he's The Edge. 41 years old and kicking the butts of guitarists half his age. Happy Birthday, Edge.

In related news, @U2.com and other fan/news sites are reporting that a new U2 track entitled "Electrical Storm" will be released to radio on September 16th and released as a single in October. The track is also scheduled to appear on the Best of 1990-2000 CD which drops in November.
