What do you think of Bob Geldof ?

[Jessica]

I personally think he seems like an extraordinary person. 

[mrlee]

i think he, like bono uses charity for fame now rather than for the cause, i think they have both been corrupted.

You think so ? i think it would be a great shame.

spot on mrlee. the man is a grade A arsehole.

with Bono being a grade A+ arsehole.

[Jessica]

well, i don't like what Bono does because he is well aware of how politics work and his efforts are, let's put it this way, pointless.

Yeh, celebrities are very careful in making sure that their children's photos are not posted all over the Internet. Hence the veils and masks over the heads of Michael Jackson's children.

or just making sure his children can't speak about what he does to them, hence the veil.

I was referring to this post about Bono.

[freedom78]

He draws attention to issues that are important and about which he seems genuinely passionate, but he's still a bit goofy, if you ask me.

Indeed. The surprising thing is few people see it any other way - they need a new PR team!

[Timothy]

not sure what I think about the dude...wait I forgot that fucking prick wouldn't loan me 25k so he is an asshole .

easy. for example U2 want to do a new (ands pointless) single. they think "ahh i know, we will get greenday with us to appeal to a different audience too...hmm, ahh thats it, we will add videos to do with the new orleans floods"
Everything bono and bob do, they always make it so they get lots of media coverage of themselves and lots of attention, half the time the news headlines arnt even about the problems they claim to be trying to solve, its just something like "bob Geldof to hold charity gig" and they just talk about bob geldof, and his previous live 8's and what a saint he is.

And cmon, do you really think people of my generation would have a clue who bob geldof or the boomtown rats were if he hadnt of held live 8?

I can guarantee most wouldnt.

i'm 32 soon and i love boomtown rats, it was regularly played on the radio when i was young, i would have known without a live 8.
