Jimmy uses a teleprompter

Post by finsup »

Well, I sat behind the stage tonight and sure enough, Jimmy now uses a teleprompter. You will be glad to know that it didn't run on Margaritaville, OPH, and Fins :)

I have a pic where you can barely see it, Mac pretty much covered it the whole night.

Lots of people have said he has this device on stage... But what could you see on it?

The lyrics? The setlist? The banter?? The jokes???

Does it really matter?

Yeah. He said he'd give it up before he'd start using a teleprompter. I see no harm in it personally but if he meant he should have never said it.

Again with the teleprompter. Just about everyone at every level used to use hand written notes during a show at some point. What is wrong with taking advantage of the technology

to me that just tells us that he loves playing for us and will do whatever he has to do to continue doing something he loves. God Bless him! He knows we can't get enough.

If him using a teleprompter prevents him from messing every other song..I'm all for it b/c I am over him forgetting lyrics, going into wrong choruses, etc.
