The guy had one minor hit single in the early 80s and starred in Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” movie. That was the sum total of his career before his Africa scam.

Yes i know. I often thought about how this all came about.

He managed to rope some of his more famous friends into it.

Both of his “hits” dealt with pain suffered by others.

Just a coincidence. He’s so creative!

I always wondered why this guy was suddenly in the limelight so much. I knew about his role in the Wall but besides that bit part in a video he didn't appear to have done that much of which I was aware.

The guy is worth $150M. One article states "Bob Geldof first became famous on a worldwide scale as the lead singer of the popular rock band The Boomtown Rats. He then went on to have a popular solo singing career. He also founded several highly successful production companies."

Wow. $150M for that.

Feed the world? Or feed me Seymour.
