Bottom line - Bono is going senile

ppl have said in this thread that they, as dedicated u2 fans, could sing the u2 songs of this tour without a teleprompter. I would disagree. I am a huge fan and when i began covering u2 I thought that it would be a simple matter to sing the lyrics. But singing along to the cds is completely different to singing without backup. Id ask anyone who thinks bono is a wuss for using a teleprompter to sing the entire lyrics of an cat dubh without prompting. it is much harder than you think

The hell you say! Not only should Bono know every single word of every song he's ever written, he should know it in 10 different languages!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw both Vancouver shows and only noticed him peeking down during the Paul Martin speeches.

So first fans complain he doesn't know every single word on every single night, and now they complain he has a telemprompter so he can get all the words?

How dare Larry not play perfectly, playing another instrument other than drums for the first time in 25 years of his career?
