I find that to be interesting considering that I have a recording of U2 doing "40" live where the time is all over the place. It's not bad - it actually worked in the context of what was going on, but it waffled by probably 5 bpm, and at that relative tempo range, that's a lot.
Mind you, I'm not trying to bash the guy - in fact, I love his innovative approach to the drum parts to their songs because it's way outside the box, but always fits perfectly with the song. I'm just saying I'm not sure I buy the bit about him being that great of a time keeper.

Your = possessive - your stuff, your dog, your car, etc
You're = you are - a contraction.
Learn it. Love it.
