Songs That Saved Bono’s Life

U2’s Bono celebrated his 60th birthday recently, and to commemorate the milestone, he shared an epic list!
“These are some of the songs that saved my life,” said Bono in a post on U2.com. “The ones I couldn’t have lived without… the ones that got me from there to here, zero to 60… through all the scrapes, all manner of nuisance, from the serious to the silly… and the joy, mostly joy.”

Bono also writes a letter to each artist, explaining his love for the music. The first 6 letters were available as of this writing, with more to follow in the coming days. Here’s the link.
