Bob Geldof

Egotistical, self aggrandising, arrogant failed musician now working with the 'new tories' to advise in the fight against poverty.
Let's examine Bob's record in the last year. Live8 was one of the most boring events of the year.
It seemed to me to be an exercise in publicising veteran bands, and increasing record slaes of bands that are already popular. Bob didn't invite a single African act- Yossou Ndour excpted- to Hyde park. What was the concert for? Who knows more about poverty, Emmanuel Jal or fucking Robbie williams? Bob relented to media pressure by organising a gig in Cornwall's Eden project. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Africans were shunted to the west country.
Music giants such as Salif Keita, Papa wemba( human trafficking charge not withstanding), Koffi Olomide, Souad Massi, Khaled would wipe the floor with any line up in the live 8 gig.
Bob the tosser, sorry, the saviour of the beautiful continent, even had the opportunity to sing his fucked up songs at Hyde park. Pity the ears of the audience.
Bob isn't really serious about making poverty history, he is an egotist.
Do us a favour you scruffy looking git, retire to your million pound hse in central London, raise your daughters, and shut the fuck up. Let the experts, the Africans , come up with solutions to eradictaing poverty in the beautiful continent.
