Yes J x 3. I just learned that Bruce Springsteen uses one! Edited to add: to us it all looks very sponateous if someone calls out a song and he actually plays it! I read that he expects the E street band to know it ( after all they have spent years playing the pubs) but he has a very nifty tele prompt operator who quickly brings up the lyrics.

McCartney uses one and I suspect most acts nowadays use them. Why not? Just another tool to integrate into your act.
