The Edge

The Edge has just arrived on stage with The Muse at The Glastonbury, but The Edge is definitely not cool. His name isn't far off being The Ledge, or The Hedge and not a million miles away from being The Fridge. However The Fridge would be a cool name. Fridges are pretty 'cool'.

I'm not sure at what point he became an Edge. Perhaps the name was coined during school by some adoring friends, or maybe he just invented it himself and demanded everyone used it as his name. Either way, it makes him sound like a prick.

When does he stop being The Edge? In casual conversation, do his friends still say the 'The' bit? Does he say 'Hi, I'm The Edge'?

What does his passport say?

Being in The U2 isn't a license to cool. I don't think U2 are cool, I'm sure some people do but it's surely not because of their names.

The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr, Adam Clayton (normal but in still in U2) and Bono.

Fucking Bono. What an almighty arsehole.
