Do you notice a change in Bono's accent when he spends a lot of time in America (during a tour) ?

it def didn't sounds like any Bono i've heard in a while but was wonderful to listen to
celtophile said:I think you raise an interesting question. It might be interesting to compare the vocal from his Harvard commencement speech to the reading he did this week for the Becket Centenial.
The link for the Becket one is at u2.com, and you dont have to be a member to listen. Im not sure if the Harvard one is available anymore
