This wonderful song from 1989 flew completely under my radar as did many others that year.
First recorded by Roy Orbison, the song appeared on his final album, "Mystery Girl." But the words and music were written by David Evans and Paul Hewson, better known as Bono and The Edge. They dedicated it to him as a sort of inspired tribute. The story is here.

I know what you're getting at. This is an open thread huh?
Good:
I've been pissed off at her for a long time, because she was a sucker too, but Peggy Noonan hit's it right in the sweet spot with this one. Of course the pitching has sucked for the hole game, but still, she's hitting it now.

Is that Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis house?

Ennis envy?
good one.
On his show today Rush mentioned this piece by Andy McCarthy.
The problem with the soap opera that is modern American politics is that politics is not soap opera.
The object of the latter is entertainment through a daily, hokey maintenance of suspense. This necessarily requires the viewer’s suspension of disbelief, particularly when it comes to the lead characters. Depending on what improbable twists and turns the plot must take to meet the demands of day-in-day-out drama, the stars of the show slip seamlessly from villain’s to hero’s role, from incorrigible vice to transcendent virtue. Soap fans buy in because they know it is not real. It is, to the contrary, their escape from reality.
Huh, I really like that song. Thanks for linking it, Pollo.

She isn't a mystery at all. You just need to understand.
Beautiful. Roy Orbison is a master in singing in the 'head voice' register. Not falsetto.
I love a good tenor voice. Vince Gill in his prime was awesome.
