"Well, I guess with all the records he's sold, he's entitled to call himself whatever he wants."

From The Onion:
The Edge Still Introducing Self As Such

MALIBU, CA—U2 guitarist The Edge, born David Evans, introduces himself by his stage name, sources reported Monday. "He showed up at parent-teacher conferences, extended his hand, and said, 'Hi, I'm Sian's father The Edge,'" said Dory Beckman, a second-grade teacher at Malibu Heights Elementary. "I didn't quite understand, so he said, 'U2's The Edge.' Well, I guess with all the records he's sold, he's entitled to call himself whatever he wants." Employees at Gladstone's 4 Fish restaurant said Evans placed "The Edge" on their waiting list when he took his family out for fried scallops last week.
I like this, because I've devoted a lot of time to thinking if the guitarist from The Offspring still calls himself 'Noodles' when he's in his 40s. I guess I could use my time to volunteer somewhere, but no, I think about stuff like the guitarist from The Offspring.
