Rock Almanac: May 4, 2008

On This Date in 1996: 'Always Be My Baby,' by Mariah Carey, becomes her 11th Number One single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The Almanac Advises for May 4: "When a person marries someone much younger, this can sometimes signify a desire in the older spouse to have a child rather than a full-fledged adult partner. The younger member of the couple is in some danger of being infantilized as a result."
