A man impersonating U2 frontman Bono recently popped into an eatery in Miami to play a few songs, answer some questions, and leave a pedestrian tip on a four hundred dollar check. The pseudo-pop star even went so far as to sign the restaurant owner's guitar, leaving him the message that "Everything is possible through Christ." Though Bono's publicist has confirmed the singer was not on Miami on this occasion or during two other appearances, the patrons of the restaurant don't seem to be upset, giving the impostor high marks for his singing and the philosophical answers he offered to their questions. With the mediocre response to U2's No Line on the Horizon, maybe the real Bono should be taking some pointers from the fake one. [The Daily Swarm]

Mediocre response? I just read where the album is number 1 all over the world and sold over 500,000 copies in the states.
