something out to Edge, through a portable recorder. The wonderful thing about this first person monologue is that the narrator is privy to information we're not. All we can really tell at the outset is that he's trying to sort out his feelings and get his head around
something that's happened, and we only learn what as the natural ebb and flow of his thoughts and feelings are laid down on the recording. As he gradually talks himself through his confusion, we learn more about what he was confused about. Likeamadonna has Bono just about pitch-perfect - one thing the man can do, after all, is
talk.
