My one year old boy spontaneously dances to anything with a melody or the slightest rhythm.
I'm happy to say that U2's "music" doesn't even register to him. Brings a tear to my eye, it makes me so proud

I've lobbed faeces at world leaders
Rich you are my hero!
I would quite like to lob my own faeces at Bono. And some World Leaders too.
U2 are one of the most overrated baynds in history. But then, I can choose not to listen to their Bonollocks, so all is well at Casa Elfin.

Well, if you're going to throw the insults out sweetie, you have to be man enough to take them back.

an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind..
silly billyI wasn't meaning to be insulting.. just a bit of friendly ribbing.. I took the tone of your post referring to 'folk kidding themselves' as a bit condescending so I thought the friendly ribbing was justified..
my mistake..
sorry pal..

if i'd paid good money to go and see a band who've been touring for nearly 30 years and they were using prompt for song lyrics (both bono and Larry had screens) I'd be absolutely livid. smacks of sitting on vast piles of money and playing out every now and then to satisfy Bono's god complex.
i switched over to listen to Heidi on Radio 1 as soon as i spotted the prompt.
I did however like when Zaine Low got all upset because Lauren Lavern didn't let him smell U2's soup
he really is a prize cock

I don't understand why that would spoil your enjoyment of a band? I can't remember my childrens' names on an hourly basis, never mind lyrics of a song I might have written 30 years ago.
Anyway, I seem to remember a story from Smash Hits in the early 80s, possibly before The Unforgettable Fire. U2 had to go and buy all of their records before they went on tour because they had forgotten them. It raised a chuckle at the time - somehow a year or two later they became HUUGE!
(Due to distance of time, I may have got the wrong band, decade, details or in fact may have made it up and now think it was true. But I think it was U2. And Smash Hits!)

I guess if you're this week's coolest band, have an album of nine songs, two of which are ok, the rest of which are shite, it's easy to remember your songs.
Bono spent most of the evening in front of the prompt anyway, not behind.
If I'd flown in from Baltimore the day after a concert, then had to do a headlining slot at Glastonbury, I would hardly even remember my own name

You're a real life Mr Darcy... the deadly bit comes from a nickname at Uni.
HTH.

Jo Wiley however, might as well just blow off everyone she interviews.
I'd buy that for a dollar.

plenty of far far far older musicians don't require prompt, to me it just smacks of distance from the music.
it's tantamount to miming, it might work for their massive 'hide behind the production' tours where the show is more theatre than music but a festival performance is about the music. Bono even said 'it's the first time we haven't played in front of our own audience'. Don't get me wrong, i like a lot of U2 songs and their tours are an awesome spectacle but they missed the spirit of glasto completely. As does their security trampling on the tax protest.
just my opinion

Hopefully it was a farewell gig

Saw them at Eastlands about 7 years ago doing the 25yr anniversary stuff. Present for the missus so i wasn't that bothered, but they were so good I ended up selling my youngest child to get tickets for the following night.
