About the money

Exactly. He's such a hypocrite. Invested in start up companies in Mauritius for tax avoidance purposes which essentially screwed over the local government. Ask him about his allegiance with Tony Blair and Gordon Brown...I put him in the same league as bono.

You're rambling again Bob.

One of history’s most bland interviews ever!!

He really over rates himself as an artist. About 2 good songs. He's no Bob Dylan.

2 good songs is slightly underrating, but don't underestimate the impact of the Rats on Ireland in the late 70s. The absolute buzz of Rat Trap getting to number one in the UK charts and being on Top of the Pops was more than a bit special. In those days, Irish performers in the UK were Val Doonican and Terry Wogan. Lizzy had done their thing but were in decline at that stage. To see someone who was 'our generation' getting to the peak of popular success, at the forefront of the exciting and emerging New Wave movement was very special.



And then there was Live Aid.



I don't like Bob, even more so since I heard he was partying with B. Johnson after the UK election.


But don't underplay his importance in his day.


Great interview, probably absolutely unique in all the thousands of interviews that Geldof has done over the years.

He is going to get it hard to shut this lad up... question about sex and now he waffling on about something I can’t even make out ...

If he paid tax here I’d listen to him.

This fella is worth 150 million.
You'd think he'd cheer up a bit

Think he owned the production company for Big Breakfast and another few big shows.

Little known fact is that Geldof's solo album Sex, Age and Death is one of the finest Irish albums ever

What is the crack with Tiernan and sex talk? Every interview he tries to bring it up, usually vulgarily..

Where did he even pull this question from??

That and asking people how their health is! :pac:

I saw them live a couple of times.

Bob screaming the rats are the "best band in the f*cking world" was one thing he has said that I didn't fully agree with.
