So when the guy down there wasn't blowing the sax, what else was he blowing?
Oh, never mind.

P. J. ORourke said that American actresses political views fall into three categories: silly, very silly and Shirley MacLaine. For pop stars, it is silly, very silly and Bob Geldof.One O'Rourke is worth a ton of Geldofs.

I can't even think of a song or band this guy ever played on or with. I try to keep up with stuff and I've never heard of him.
It seems he organized a touchy-feely effort twenty
years ago and has mostly just aged badly since then.
To: humblegunner
I believe you are saying he fermented over the years.

Based on the Sax player in the photo, I think he sang "Blow the Man Down", didn't he?

And with his past, he denied the Spice Girls the opportunity to participate? What a drag queen that fellow is turning out to be IMO.

Good to see you're still on FR.
Seriously, money flows from the British, American, French and German public/ticket buyers, and sponsor companies, to Geldof's production company, which takes a cut, to a basket of NGO's, who take a bigger cut, to locales in Africa, where local and national politicians and strongmen take a very big cut and take control of all aid, and then those in who's name the donations were given, will bend to the will of the strongmen, out of necessity to feed their children, and receive a bowl of maize.
And this, Geldof and Bono call a noble endeavour.
And the vapid fools in London's social circles will call it a great success.
The line up sounds geriatric. Seriously, Oasis covering the Who, Robbie Williams covering the Stones? Sounds bloody aweful.

The sneaky croaking amphibian, Villepin, and the no-talent smarmy rat, Geldolf, both reappear on the same day.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............thinking to myself...........
They say bad things come in threes so I suppose I should be grateful that Harris Glenn Milstead, aka Divine, isn't around anymore to be the third to soil my television screen today.
I don't like Tuesdays!!!

Hah! Here we go again. The scheme is simple: Make you poor so some third world hillbilly can be slightly less poor It's worse than that. The last live aid raised 150 million , but was dwarfed by what western country governments gave.
Which of that most of the money was mis-managed and stolen by criminal leaders.
If you want to give find a quality charity and give that way. This live 8 is just entertainment .
