Ping!
what's the saying about teaching people to fish vs giving him fish? ;)
When was the last time that Geldof even sang anything?
Not to mention that he dissed the Spice Girls.
Bob Geldof at this point is being a self aggrandizing little turd.
I can't even think of a song or band this guy ever played on or with.
When, by the way, did Bob Geldof make his last recording? Was he even a star before Live Aid? I think not. He is, rather, a professional finger-wagger.
I'm all for helping people, but Geldof has not and will not help anybody with these obnoxious displays of alleged compassion. I'd be shocked if Geldof owned a Bible, but he would do well to read in Matthew,
"...when thou doest thine alms do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do..."
A trumpet, of course, is quiet compared to the mega-wattage that these sanctimonious clowns will have onstage at Live 8.
" Was he even a star before Live Aid? "
Actually before live aid he was most famous for not liking Mondays.
Don't these dumbasses even know how to read?
You would think that maybe one of them would say "Hmmm...this society is wealthy and stable. This society is impoverished and chaotic. Maybe we should encourage these dimwits to emulate the wealthy, stable society.
But Noooooooooo...
Dear Sir Bob:
I promise to send you $10.00 if you will go to Zimbabwe and personally shoot Robert Mugabe in the head. Otherwise, I think I will take that $10.00 bill and just throw it out the window, or maybe set it on fire.
Sincerely,
C
Bob Geldof
I Don´T Like Mondays
The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload.
And nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's going to make them stay at home.
And daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was as good as gold.
And he can see no reason
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
I want to shoot
The whole day down.
The telex machine is kept so clean
As it types to a waiting world.
And mother feels so shocked,
Father's world is rocked,
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl.
Sweet 16 ain't so peachy keen,
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat.
They can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
I want to shoot
The whole day down.
All the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while.
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die.
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain crackles,
With the problems and the how's and why's.
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die?
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
I want to shoot
The whole day down.
And he got paid for that?
I love that song !!
Wasn't he also teh lead character in Pink Floyd's The Wall: The Movie ?
P.S. Wasn't Michael Hutchence (of INXS) screwing his wife when he died ?
Isn't he in Bono's seat?
Who'd win in a fight - Bob or Bono?
Was Phil Linnot ever like this?
The Boomtown DEMOCrats....
Right on. Geldof and his liberal co-horts are going to try to push the lie that Africa is a disaster because of Western selfishness and neglect. They don't have the sense to admit that the bulk of Africa's problems are due to the behavior of Africans. At least they're not charging admission for the concerts. The net worth of the performers is probably in excess of the GNP of a number of African nations.
